I had a problem with installing Ubuntu on a Toshiba Tecra T9100 laptop. It got through most of the installation process, but then hung 15% of the way through detecting the target file system.
I spent a couple of days searching the web, finding similar issues & trying all sorts of boot options all to no avail.
The solution was quite simple in the end. This machine had 256MB of RAM, increasing this to 512MB fixed the problem & made the machine much more responsive.
I guess Ubuntu needs 512MB of RAM to be usable.
