[Bug 1381321] [NEW] 14.04 server's Installer Hangs after Scanning CD During Installation

 

Public bug reported:

The problem I'm having has been expalained here:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2219435

During installation of Ubuntu Server 14.04.1, there is point where it
scans the "cd" (even if you are booting from DVD or USB it still says
"CD" -- I've tried both ways).

After this completes, it hangs indefinately on a purple screen with a
grayish-white bar at the bottom.

I believe it is hanging right before the point where it detects your
network cards.

Others say, that if you wait 15 minutes, the installation will continue
installation. I had to wait 18 minutes before installation continued.

What is going on here? I will try to post hardware specs later.
