Seems I get hit by this on trying to install 7.04 desktop via live CD. I disabled removable media auto-mounting and applied https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/99908/comments/4, no luck.
>From syslog: May 23 13:25:31 ubuntu partman: /dev/hda1 is mounted; will not make a filesystem here! I used mount to check no partition was mounted right before hitting install. Guess will try alternate. -- The ext3 file system creation in partition #1 of SCSI1 (0,0,0) (sda) failed. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/99908 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
