I think I was able to isolate the problem. I've tried to reinstall Gutsy and now it hung. Basically what I did differently this time was to specify a different mountpoint for NTFS volumes:
/dev/sda2 at /mnt/vista instead of /media/sda2 /dev/sda5 at /mnt/homek instead of /media/sda5 You can see that mount.ntfs calls don't finish, as they are listed in process list: # ps axf | grep mount.ntfs 27549 pts/0 S+ 0:00 \_ grep mount.ntfs 26621 ? Ss 0:00 /sbin/mount.ntfs /dev/sda5 /target/mnt/homek -o rw 26628 ? Ss 0:00 /sbin/mount.ntfs /dev/sda2 /target/mnt/vista -o rw Mountings at this point are as such: # mount -l proc on /proc type proc (rw) sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw) tmpfs on /lib/modules/2.6.22-12-generic/volatile type tmpfs (rw,mode=0755) tmpfs on /lib/modules/2.6.22-12-generic/volatile type tmpfs (rw,mode=0755) varrun on /var/run type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,mode=0755) varlock on /var/lock type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,mode=1777) udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw,mode=0755) devshm on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620) tmpfs on /tmp type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev) /dev/sda7 on /target type jfs (rw) [] /dev/sda5 on /target/mnt/homek type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,allow_other,blksize=4096) [HOMEK] /dev/sda2 on /target/mnt/vista type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,allow_other,blksize=4096) [VistaOS] I will attach two more screenshots and syslog for closer inspection. -- [gutsy tribe-5] installer stops at 'creating a filesystem' because of mount.ntfs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/135370 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
