I can confirm this problem with Ubuntu 6.06 "Dapper Drake" - Beta 2 i386
Live CD.
This happened twice when I wanted manually edit the partition table.
1. Removed all partitions
2. Created three primary ext3 partitions in hda (about 20, 35 and 1.5 GB)
3. Set mountpoints to "/", "home" and "swap" (in this order)
note: I changed the order of the devices in the list to hda, hdb and hdc
(the list did not show all at first, and they were in the "wrong" order).
4. Clicked Install and got a warning "no root file system"
The third time I didn't delete the partitions (it seemed that they were
already looking like this from the previous attempts), but only made
sure that all mount points were noted (didn't change their order) and
the installation finished just fine.
But now I got an error while trying to Hibernate the machine:
[4296733.093000] swsusp: Cannot find swap device, try swapon -a.
This got me looking my /etc/fstab to check if swap was not mentioned,
but it was. The partition list looked odd, though:
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hda1 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/hda5 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/hdc /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0
The output of sudo fdisk -l:
Laite Käynn Alku Loppu Lohkot Id Järjestelmä
/dev/hda1 * 1 7120 57191368+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda2 7121 7296 1413720 5 Laajennettu
/dev/hda5 7121 7296 1413688+ 82 Linux / Solaris

The second one is extended and the last one is swap (sorry for the
Finnish language), but I doesn't recall making an extended partition!
And where is my home!
Tried to enable the swap anyway:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/log$ sudo swapon -a
swapon: /dev/hda5: Virheellinen argumentti
It is saying that /dev/hda5 is a wrong argument, so I guess there is
_some minor_ problems still with this express install methods.
