If I zero the beginning of the disk, then gpart will start. This disk was a brand new Patriot XT. There are no errors in the dmesg output.
I forgot to mention-- when I first tried to install Ubuntu on this brand new Patriot XT (before I tried to start gpart from the Live CD mode), the installer hung at the keyboard map choosing screen. In other words, this fresh-out-of-the-box memory stick also hangs the Ubuntu 10.04 32-bit Desktop installer. -- gparted crashes at startup - Assertion failed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/558431 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Registry Administrators, which is the registrant for GNU Parted. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~registry Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~registry More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
