    [SOLVED]: Maverick 10.10 Kubuntu Live CD installation freezes

    Installing Kubuntu Maverick 10.10 64-bit from the Live CD stalls at:
    Running "update-grub" ... 66%
    for over 30 minutes.
    Final slide from installation slide show remains on screen:
    "Get involved and contribute to Kubuntu ... The installation will finish soon. We hope you enjoy Kubuntu."

    I have been moving the cursor about every two minutes to keep the system from going to sleep / hibernating / etc.

    This has happened three times.

    Dual-booting with Windows 7 Home Premium
    Manual partitioning: Windows 7 partitions on /dev/sda1, 2, 3
    / on /dev/sda5
    swap on /dev/sda6
    /home on /dev/sda7

    Hardware:
    Toshiba Satellite C655 laptop (brand new)
    CPU: Intel Pentium T4500 2.3 GHz dual-core
    Chipset: Mobile Intel GL40 Express
    Graphics: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500DM with dynamically-allocated shared graphics memory
    System RAM: 4 GB

    I have looked for this problem and used the search function in the Kubuntu forums to see if anybody else has had this problem, and cannot find any other related posts.

    Installing directly from the LiveCD main menu, or installing from the Desktop once the LiveCD is fully booted and running Kubuntu?
    Windows no longer obstructs my view.
    Using Kubuntu Linux since March 23, 2007.

        Sorry I didn't flag this as SOLVED earlier, folks. Thank you for your replies.

        Problem went away after I updated the BIOS to v1.40 on the Toshiba Satellite C655 laptop.

          I also noticed, if you happen to click one the various links during the installation slide show, the install might freeze. Not sure if this happened to anybody else, but it did for me and was stuck on 80% for 15+ minutes. Just started over without clicking any links, and installed fine.
