Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ubiquity
In x86_64 system with dual Fiesty Ubuntu (32-bit) and XP, I formatted
the drives of Ubuntu from XP so as to install 64-bit Fiesty Ubuntu.
After the format I used XP's bootable disc and fixed MBR by (fixmbr) and
now the system had only XP with normal boot. Now I booted using Ubuntu
64-bit disc and choose manual partition. I used the same freespace for
'/ ' with ReiserFS as the filesys. In the next step, which detects
user(s) info from XP, unusually showed none in the list, saysing no
user/OS compatible. The installation crashes around 94 to 96% when
"Configuring Boot Loader...".
Then I formatted the whole HDD (SATA HDD) with DOS fdisk and tried
installing Ubuntu from scratch. I kept the / (reiserfs) mount point in
the very beginning of the 160 GB disk. The same occured.
Then after formatting the whole disk I installed Vista, then booted with
Ubuntu, and this time too it ended up the same way.
After this I tried in many ways (10 times!!!) which include '/' as
Primary, some times as Logical, and some with Extended Dos Partition
(logical). All of the tries ended up the same way - crash while
Configuring Boot Loader.
I am so sorry that I do not have any logs with me since I am currently
working in another system.
