Installation crashes, 4.0 KDE

[Lasse]

Hello there, tried to install Linux Mint 4.0 KDE to my laptop today, without any success... After I have inputed my present location, it crashes with this error message:

Code: Select all

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/ubiquity/frontend/kde_ui.py", line 2184, in index
    childItem = parentItem.child(row)
  File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/ubiquity/frontend/kde_ui.py", line 2224, in child
    return self.childItems[row]
IndexError: list index out of range

I have posted the errormessage to Launchpad, as the installer error-message asked me to do, but they asked me to post it here instead. The error message also asked me to post the info from syslog and partman. Here is the partman info:

The syslog, takes up some lines, and has been pasted to pastebin:

I think it's a bad DVD
Did you check the md5sum and burn slowly?
In win you have to use some third party software for the md5sum - google for it
Ans it's the entire ISO that is to be checked

There is no problem with the DVD, it works just fine on other computers. The computer is a Toshiba Qosmio G20 with two HDD. I have succesfully installed Sabayon to it, so it is possible to install Linux to it (it has a built in bootloader for the DVD playback feature). Fancied testing a debian distro on it, but does not seem to be possible at the moment...

Ok, I've looked at the log and error messages
The error messages suggest some problem with disks/disk handling and the log suggests it too + possibly ACPI
Take a look at the troubleshooter wiki, the section about motherboards
http://www.linuxmint.com/wiki/index.php ... d_problems
Not much there, but it covers a wide range of errors
The piix thing may be for you as well as acpi=off
