I see this also, using todays (20060430?) 'desktop' cd. Has happened twice, going in for the thrid go now.
Ran installer and from desktop with these steps: * selected manually partition * created a root partition, and swap, (these are to be formatted) and asked to re-use /home parition w/o formatting * Continue to the end of the installer * begins creating partitions then comes up with 'no root file system' dialouge * pressed okay, dialouge stops at 15% (left for an hour, no change) fdisk -l, after rebooting from failed install, shows the partitions were created. However, starting up the installer again, the partitioning screen shows /dev/sda2 (was going to be root), as 'unknown' type. -- no root file system https://launchpad.net/bugs/42003 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
