Installation taking a very long time, hangs at "Configuring bcmwl-kernel-source"
- by user290522
I am installing Ubuntu 14.04(32-bit) on my laptop (Compaq Presario V2000), and after about 7 hours, it is still in Configuring bcmwl-kernel-source (i386) mode. The messages I read are as follows:
ubuntu kernel: [22814.858163] ACPI: \_SB_.PCI0.LPC0.LPC0.ACAD: ACPI_NOTIFY_BUS_CHECK event: unsupported
with the numbers in the square brackets increasing.
I have had Windows XP professional on this laptop, and I am erasing it. I am not sure if I should turn off the laptop, and start all over again. About 4 years ago I installed Ubuntu on this laptop, and that was very fast. The only problem I encountered was my wireless, and could not make it to work, and switched back to Windows.
I appreciate any comments regarding this installation taking such a long time.
After 40 hours the installation was still in configuring mode with the following messages:
ubuntu CRON[29329]: (root) CMD ( cd/ && run-part .. report /etc/cron-hourly)
I did the following to check for errors:
pressed ctrl-alt-f2.
This time the system froze. I had no other choice but to turn off the laptop, and start all over again.
The exact model of the laptop is "Compaq Presario V2069CL Notebook PC" with AMD processor.
