@ Steve Langasek and Stéphane Graber, ATM I'm much more concerned about 12.04.1. In order to verify that this is still a problem I created a Precise i386 20120810.1 disc and tried some installation cases on two totally different sets of hardware. This does still exist in the current Precise daily images!
Just as one example my start point was: ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo parted -l Model: ATA WDC WD1600BEVS-2 (scsi) Disk /dev/sda: 160GB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: msdos Number Start End Size Type File system Flags 1 32.3kB 41.9GB 41.9GB primary ntfs boot Model: ATA Maxtor 33073U4 (scsi) Disk /dev/sdb: 30.7GB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: msdos Number Start End Size Type File system Flags 1 1049kB 29.7GB 29.7GB primary ext4 2 29.7GB 30.7GB 1003MB extended 5 29.7GB 30.7GB 1003MB logical linux-swap(v1) Warning: Unable to open /dev/sr0 read-write (Read-only file system). /dev/sr0 has been opened read-only. Error: Can't have a partition outside the disk! But the manual partitioner defaults to /dev/sdb as shown in the attached screenshot. I'd think we really do need to fix this in 12.04.1. ** Attachment added: "Screenshot from 2012-08-10 20_21_32.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/987418/+attachment/3256282/+files/Screenshot%20from%202012-08-10%2020_21_32.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/987418 Title: manual partitioner: /dev/sdb (installation media) selected by default as device for boot loader installation To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/987418/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
