** Description changed: Binary package hint: ubiquity - Daily-builds 24 Jan 2008 through 27 Jan 2008 all fail installation from + Daily-builds 24 Jan 2008 through 29 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. ) + that partition, and the system then installed.
