64bit ubuntu OS can not be installed on my dv6 1045ee

[bero88]

Hi,

My laptop is supposed to be 64bit capable.

http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/product?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&product=3877259

But when I try to install a 64bit copy of ubuntu on it the installer freezes or causes problems.!

And when I install a 32bit copy I get no probelms at all.

Have you tried a different 64bit Ubuntu Installation Disk?  I know when you download and burn it you have to do that checksum verify and all that good stuff to make sure the disk is a good one.  Maybe give it another shot or look on Ubuntu's website for troubleshooting tips for it's 64bit OS

Can you boot into the live environment?? I mean if you can load a live cd and use the system before installing on a hard drive..

This problem is not new to me,

I have been suffering from it since Karmic > lucid and now I am having it with Meerkat.

I am sure that I am using a vailed iso file and installation disc ( md5 check).

Thank you very much.

Yes i can boot from a live cd without having any problems.

I can see the desktop and do anything.

Thnx

Ok, so where is the problem when you try to install it??

edit: Tell us when the installer freezes, I mean what stage when installing.

Have you tried an alternate live cd??

[bero88]

The installer freezes when creating ext4 file system.

Yes, I have tried installing using the alternate cd but it did not work as well.

Installer freezed.

I can install a 32bit copy of ubuntu using ext4 without having any problems.

Thank you.

It's a bug in the installer I guess. I have had once the same problem on Sabayon Weekly Build. When I tried to install a weekly build, it just froze when formatting the partitions. Next weekly build was OK, so I didn't bother with it anymore..
