Hi Brian, May I suggest that the disk- and partitioning- dialog is supplied with a feature similar to my "zeroing out" of the drive, if a user selects "Use entire drive for Ubuntu"?
I've done both automatic and manual partitioning in this dialog, even chose to "erase partitioning table" in the dialog a few times. None of these options worked. Only when I nuked the drive with output from /dev/zero, did the drive finally "reset" and no longer "contain a ufs2 filesystem". I mean, how hard is it supposed to be to get rid of a ufs2 filesystem? -- 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
