Are there any error messages on tty4? This sounds like bad media, kernel driver troubles, etc. Created attachment 161837 [details]
SQUASHFS errors found via /var/log/messages
Once I finally invested the time to attempt to repeat the situation,
after several tries I was able to verify my memory that tty4 was still
at its login prompt, with no information logged from this "Install to
Hard Drive" attempt. As originally reported, this CD passed both the
sha1sum and media check tests. But this time I noticed that
/var/log/messages has some evidence to support your expectation. See
the attached file for aquashfs errors from the CD, which are obviously
intermittent since this process sometimes runs to completion without
encountering these errors from this CD on the given CD drive.
Would it be appropriate to share your insights in a more
detailed error message available in this situation? E.g.
a dialog titled "Error!" would be displayed containing:
[! icon] An error occurred when attempting to
load an installer interface component.
className = TimezoneWindow
[twisty] Details
This likely arises from a media or device error:
Consider:
- Exiting and running the media check test, if this
particular disc has not already passed that test.
- Viewing the recent contents of /var/log/messages to
see if the device reading this disc encountered errors.
If so, Exit, and restart this procedure in case this
may have been a transient error.
Exit Retry
Include mention of tty4 if you know that sometimes it reveals useful
messages in this situation. Is there a simple way to distinguish
between different data being returned from the same pits in the
optical media on different runs, and squashfs driver failures?
