[Bug 123364] Re: while installing gutsy partition manager fails( i386 )
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 122645 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/122645 I have a promise Fasttrack tx2300 raid controller that seems to be crashing the ubuntu installer. I've tried ubuntu gutsy and fiesty from the live CD with the universe repository added. I installed dmraid and got a working logical disk at "/dev/mapper/pdc_bhhebjejfb". The only problem is that ubiquity, the installer, crashes while formatting it. I've manually formated it using mkfs.ext3 without error. I've tested it by mounting it and writing a file... I've mounted the 2 disks (/dev/sda and /dev/sdb) and there is my test file, mirrored as expected.

To compare, I've gone through the same procedure with **Feisty** 32-bit LiveCD and it works so maybe the problem can be found by comparing the diffs of the two code-bases. -- while installing gutsy partition manager fails( i386 ) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/123364 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

[Bug 123364] Re: while installing gutsy partition manager fails( i386 )
I've tried various ways to get around this problem, from trying to assign the mount-points last-to-first (#4, #3, #2, #1) to doing one, then backing out to the previous step in Ubiquity, and then advancing again (trying to do one change at a time) but I've so far found no solution. Can I therefore recommend the priority of this bug is increased to High if not Critical, since it is a definite show-stopper at the most crucial stage, and one that even an experienced hacker has not so far been able to work-around or solve. -- while installing gutsy partition manager fails( i386 ) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/123364 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
[Bug 123364] Re: while installing gutsy partition manager fails( i386 )
After configuring the partitions using fdisk I restarted Ubiquity, went to the Partition Manual stage, and tried to simply assign the mount points to the existing partitions. It allowed me to set partition #1 to /boot, but after making the changes for #2 to be / it hung up and needed killing. -- while installing gutsy partition manager fails( i386 ) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/123364 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
[Bug 123364] Re: while installing gutsy partition manager fails( i386 )
I'm seeing a similar result with Tribe-2 when choosing to do a Manual Partition on the 30GB PATA IDE drive in a Sony Vaio SRX51 notebook. Starting from an empty hard disk with no partition table, boot Gutsy 32-bit from LiveCD and choose to Install. When reaching the Partitioner choose the Manual/Advanced option then create: #1=512MB, ext3, beginning, /boot #2=8000MB,ext3,beginning,/ #3=1024MB,swap,beginning At this point, when the partitioner "scans the disk" the progress indicator will get to between 25% to 75% and then hang-up. The progress dialog or parent "Install" window won't repaint or respond to actions. If I use force-quit about 10 other processes related to ubiquity and partman need to be killed before the Installer will restart. It doesn't give the opportunity to create the /home mount using the remaining space as the final partition. Unfortunately there's no network (needs a WiFi driver that I custom- build after install) so I can't copy the log files, so I'll type up what looks pertinent. There are no clues in syslog aside from the reports that Ubiquity has got to the partitioning stage: Step_before - stepKeyboardConf switched to page stepPartAuto Step_after = stepPartAuto program parted_devices is using a deprecated SCSI ioctl, please convert it to SG_IO switched to page stepPartAuto switched to page stepPartAdvanced switched to page stepPartAdvanced switched to page stepPartAdvanced switched to page stepPartAdvanced In /var/log/partman: parted_server: OUT: 1 32256-a x primary ext3 /dev/sda1 parted_server: OUT: 2 a-b x primary ext3 /dev/sda2 parted_server: OUT: 3 cc-d x primary linux-swap /dev/sda3 parted_server: OUT: -1 e-fff xx pro/log free /dev/sda-1 parted_server: Partitions printed parted_server: OUT: parted_server: Closing infifo and outfifo /lib/partman/choose_partition/60partition_tree/choices: paragraph: 1 (entry details same as above) /lib/partman/choose_partition/60partition_tree/choices: paragraph: 2 (entry details same as above) /lib/partman/choose_partition/60partition_tree/choices: paragraph: 3 (entry details same as above) /lib/partman/choose_partition/60partition_tree/choices: paragraph: -1 (entry details same as above) partman_server: main_loop: iteration 249 parted_server: Opening infifo -- while installing gutsy partition manager fails( i386 ) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/123364 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
