Interesting. I did "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda", waited a few minutes. The install after that went successfully.
I did this because, when I tried grub-install through chroot method from live usb, it told me there were UFS2 file systems on the disk - which didn't make sense, since I'd chosen for ubuntu to delete EVERYTHING and install ubuntu. None the less, it works now. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/930579 Title: Can't install ubuntu 11.10 on thinkpad with ssd To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub-installer/+bug/930579/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
