Public bug reported:
I downloaded the alpha 4 CD image, checked MD5, burned a CD, and run it.
I did not go far. After choosing language, location, keyboard, it says
it is starting the partition manager, and that is it. Nothing happens
after, so I had to press the power button to switch the PC off.
Nothing much special with my PC. It is a 4.5 year old Dell Dimension. It
has two hard disks, the master with two partitions, Dell Utility, and
Windows XP. The second disk however, has 12 partitions with a number of
empty spaces in between. Some partitions have Ubuntu or Kubuntu (ext4),
others are empty, one is for Windows swapping. Also the partition
numbers are not in order, for example, after sdb10 comes sdb5. My guess
is that the partition editor got confused and lost!
Today I installed jaunty for a different test and all went well. So this
is a karmic bug.
