Public bug reported:
I installed Foresight Linux on hdd. I put GRUB on the MBR of hda with
the Foresight installer. Tried booting Ubuntu: No Joy! Stuck in the
install disk. (One I got in the mail.) Tried to boot into rescue mode.
Says it can't find that kernel... So I thought I'd try installing over
the existing install. I only formatted the swap partitions. I left / and
/home alone.
mkdir: cannot create directory `/var/lib/partman': File exists
