have just spent most of today on the phone to Crucial support. Apprently the 256gb SDD drive does only have 238.47gb of usable space... so, therefore, my unit is fine.
What I'm guessing is that the installer disks are trying to partition to the declared 256.1gb and so are crashing when unable to access parts of the drive that they think are there, but arent really (if you see what I mean) For some reason, the LVM approach overcomes this - though this doesnt work with the Kubuntu 9.10-alpha 4 alternate installation disc. -- Installation fails on Crucial/Micron M225 256gb SSD https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/415888 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kubuntu-meta in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
