Hi everyone! I tried the hint from a2d2, but with no success. Ubiquity crashed and was not impressed by reiserfs.
However, I worked around this problem by doing the following: In VMware (under Win XP), I installed Ubuntu 8.10 x64 in a virtual machine. Then I copied the initrd.img file to the host, booted into my working Ubuntu 8.04, and copied the initrd.img file to the parition of Ubuntu 8.10. Then I modified my menu.lst and voilĂ ... Ubuntu 8.10 boots! If anyone is interested in my initrd.file, I published it here: http://temp.mkcs.at/linux/initrd.img-2.6.27-7-generic I guess it should work for all Ubuntu 8.10 x64 installations. -- ubiquity crashed with InstallStepError in configure_bootloader() https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/260001 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
