Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ubiquity
Daily-builds 24 Jan 2008, 25 Jan 2008, and 26 Jan 2008 all fail
installation from Live CD when using the Guided Entire Disk option.
These installations were being made onto a hard drive that has an older
version of Ubuntu installed on the partition #1 ext3, and the only other
partition is the swap partition. During installation, the error
message comes up: "Failed to create a file system. The ext3 file
system creation in partition #1 of SCSI1(0,0,0)(sda) failed." When I
tried installation again (without rebooting the CD), the same error
occurred. Then I chose the manual partition method. I used the
existing partitions, assigned mount point / to the ext3 partition, asked
for formatting of that partition, and the system then installed.
(However, I then found another error that was a show-stopper. See bug
report #186246. )
