I reviewed this bug at the opportunity of 10.04 release, and all attempts below were unsuccessful. Here is my configuration:
* Computer: IBM ThinkPad X31, 768MB memory, 40GB HDD * Installation target: External USB memory (actually microSDHC reader), Buffalo RUF2-PS. * What I want to do: Install Ubuntu for an external USB memory, without any affection to HDD. <Ubuntu Version> 10.04 LTS 32bit <Trials> * Dividing USB mem into three partitions, formatting with ext4, locating grub in USB mem (/dev/sdb) ... ext4-fs error, very unstable * Same partition, formatting with ReiserFS (grub is same) ... ReiserFS error, very unstable * Same partition, formatting with ext2 (grub is same) ... ext2-fs error, less than ext4, but fatal * Using USB mem as one partition, formatting with ext4 (grub is same) ... slightly stable, but consequently boot failure with ext4-fs error * same partition above (one partition), ext4, boot loader at /dev/sda ... same as above (not successful) I inspected using USB memory check tools in Windows environment and confirmed there are no errors. Actually, it is no problem to use after re-formatting as FAT32 after these attempts. I suppose this problem stems from some affinity between ThinkPad (possibly BIOS) and this USB external memory. I should have tried with other compters or other USB memory, but I had no time. I am operating now latest Ubuntu at this ThinkPad using entire HDD. -- EXT4-fs error https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/389154 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
