Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ubiquity
Testing installation from Kubuntu daily build 20070401.
Test system
HP Pavilion N5472
20GB HDD
256MB RAM
Started installer from desktop icon. At disk partitioning step
selected 'guided - use entire disk'. Proceeded through steps 5 and 6
then clicked the install button. System displays an 'Installing
System' box with a progress bar. Progress bar gets to 5% then a
message box appears with the message:
The ext3 file system creation in partition #1 of SCSI1 (0,0,0) (sda)
failed.
Clicking on OK on this message box drops me back to the disk
partitioning page. If I select 'guided - use entire disk' again I get
the same result. I will post /var/log/syslog and /var/log/partman. Is
anything else required?
At the start of today the HDD of this system had a working
installation of Xubuntu feisty on it from an earlier daily build test.
Earlier today I used the same CD that generated the above error to
install Kubuntu selecting 'guided - auto-resize' as the partitioning
method. At this point I had working installations of both Xubuntu and
Kubuntu on this system. It's only if I try to use the entire disk that
installation fails. The md5sum of the ISO checks out and 'Check CD for
defects' returned no errors.
Just ask if any other info is required or if you want extra tests tried.
