Duncan, please leave ubiquity bugs alone until you have more experience; this isn't a parted bug at all. partman quit perfectly normally, and that wasn't the source of the error here.
Adrastos (and also Chad, from a duplicate): It appears that the kernel encountered too many errors when trying to write to your hard disk and gave up in order to avoid causing further damage. This is often due to a faulty hard disk, and at any rate isn't an installer bug as such. It may help to check whether the hard disk is old and in need of replacement, or to move the system to a cooler environment. ** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: parted => ubiquity Assignee: (unassigned) => Colin Watson Status: Unconfirmed => Rejected -- Ubuntu 6.10 installation crash https://launchpad.net/bugs/69937 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
