Like Evan, I've failed to reproduce this, even with amd64, and even with dding /dev/urandom over the start of the region where the swap partition is going to live first. But maybe I was just unlucky.
My best guess is still that libparted's swap initialisation code might be at fault. I'm going to try dropping that in favour of mkswap. If it recurs, please reopen this bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/709363 Title: swap partition disappeared during installation To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/709363/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
