I also was stuck on the Creating ext3 file system for / in partition #1 on SCSI1 (0.0.0) error for a long time. The answer is to use the separate partition editor to create new partitions, then do the installation and use those existing partitions. I finally installed Ubuntu 9.04 this way on an old formerly-XP computer.

I have very similar problem as Yotam Medini. Using LiveCD for installation, the creation of ext3 system stalls at 5% and the system freeze (no response to keyboard, mouse). The system is a Celeron 2.0G with 1G DDR-PC2100 memory, I am trying to make a single boot (not dual-boot) system on a dedicated 40G hard drive. At first, I suspected the LiveCD is not good enough, but it is verified that is a good one. It looks that using alternate CD will not help either (can somebody please confirm this?). Then, what if I install Xubuntu 8.04.1? Will that change anything? I am pretty new on Linux, so please be kind to me. ;) (BTW, for my case, will installation of a 6.X Xubuntu help? On the other hand, if I somehow managed to install some lightweight Linux, such as puppy, then create ext3 system on that, can the installation of Ubuntu/Xubuntu bypass that fatal step I had? ) Thanks! -yw_ys -- The ext3 file system creation in partition #1 of SCSI1 (0,0,0) (sda) failed. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/99908 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Well, Intrepid Ibex Alpha 2 is under development so expect problems (even severe ones) that will be fixed later. The Alpha 2 announcement said to use the Alternate CD (not the CD Live) which installed just fine on my system; the CD Live fails, on two different PC's. Note the Alternate CD is in text mode. * Ubuntu: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/intrepid/alpha-2/ * Kubuntu: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/intrepid/alpha-2/ * Edubuntu: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/edubuntu/inrepid/alpha-2/ * Xubuntu: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/intrepid/alpha-2/ If you want to get some experience on installs, try Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04.1. That's pretty stable. When you get some experience dual boot is good; you can have one linux which works and a second to try out. If the try fails you can usually use the one which works to get going again. BTW, don't try manual partitioning on the Alternate. It made three partitions of 8.2 mb each on a 20.9 mb drive - obviously that's a don't fit. I used Gparted Live to straighten it out. Hardy Heron Install would also fix this.

Jerry, thanks for your comments. I guess trying alpha's is a step too bold. So, I will get the 8.04.1 alternate CD for the next step. I hope that failure in creation ext3 file system is addressed. If this does not work, I guess I will try an earlier Xubuntu (so that if this succeed, I will try your suggestion to have dual boot).

Gutsy Xubuntu partitioning worked, mind this is very early Alpha and Gutsy is not to ship until October. Xubuntu Gutsy install partitioner was able to do new and create and format partition and successfully install as 2nd Linux on the hard drive.

Jerry, could you attach /var/log/syslog and /var/log/partman from after the failure, please? (I don't need a --debug log in this case.) Richard's problems do look consistently like either CD read errors or out-of-memory conditions; the logs are certainly not clean of other errors caused by this. Jerry has plenty of memory. Richard's tests are also with automatic partitioning, while Jerry's are with manual partitioning. It's not clear to me that the problems are the same.

I tried to reproduce Jerry's problem testing Kubuntu i386 20070415 on the same hardware I described previously. I was unable to do so. Here's what I did: The disk already had an existing install of Kubuntu feisty on it using the whole of /dev/sda1. Simpler than Jerry's set up but still something on there. Selected manual partitioning. Click on sda1, edit partition Set partition size to 9.6GB (on a 20GB drive) sda1 was correctly resized Clicked on the newly created free space. Clicked New partition /dev/sda3, created as a primary partition. Set mount point as / Set sda3 to be reformatted but sda1 to be left alone Proceeded with installation on sda3. All of this went without a hitch. Both installs now boot and run just fine. I can supply logs if required but there doesn't seem to be anything useful in them.

I had the same that jerry but in version 20070411 BUT when repeat the install after the error just did fine.

Repeat install didn't work for me. I tried to install with delete, new, reformat, got the failure as usual, while still under install, tried repeating the manual partitioning and formatting, failed again. Then I quit install, started it again, re-did the manual partition and tried to format, failed again, and while still under install, tried again and it failed again. I then re-booted the hard drive without the CD Live, and the partition selected for manual partitioning still worked showing there had been no partitioning work done and no formatting done.

[Bug 99908] Re: The ext3 file system creation in partition #1 of SCSI1 (0, 0, 0) (sda) failed.
The ext3 file system creation failure is actually a failure of the manual partitioner. It reads like a format failure but it isn't. delete and new are failing to do anything. The hard disk isn't changed at all. edit with resize also fails to do anything. edit entering the same size and format worked. The Feisty Xubuntu install went on to complete and boot up O.K. I suppose I could crank up stand alone Gparted to see if it would work, but I'm a bit tired of this bug right now. Besides, I've had a couple Feisty partitioning problems causing loss of a Win 98 partition and loss of an XP partition, which I haven't finished re-constructing yet. If Ubuntu would do everything Win98 and XP do for this ordinary desktop computer user then I'd be on (several!) Linux's altogether. The bug is the manual partitioner doesn't work at all in this situation.

I've just tripped over this bug again in Kubuntu 20070411, the release candidate. The symptoms are exactly as described in the original report. In this case the disk had an existing install of Kubuntu 20070411 on it from an earlier test. This time the suggested fix of editing /lib/partman/commit.d/30parted did not work. I tried repeating the install launching from the desktop icon and from a terminal with ubiquity --debug. Same results each time. Logs to follow. I'm happy to run tests to diagnose this further if someone can provide instructions. ** Attachment added: syslog http://librarian.launchpad.net/7297419/syslog -- The ext3 file system creation in partition #1 of SCSI1 (0,0,0) (sda) failed. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/99908 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

I think this may be due to an out-of-memory condition, although it's hard to be certain, and in any case the installer ought to respond more gracefully. -- The ext3 file system creation in partition #1 of SCSI1 (0,0,0) (sda) failed. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/99908 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

OK now things get strange. Following on from above I tested an install with Kubuntu daily build 20070402. Selecting guided - auto resize at the partitioning stage works fine and the install completes without errors. Following this I attempted to install by selecting 'guided - use entire disk' at the partitioning stage. This induced the same error as the original post. So I attempted the same fix suggested by Colin Watson above and repeated the install process.

Update: Following the error noted above I cancelled the install and shutdown the liveCD from the main menu. Now when I go to boot the system it fails to boot. I just see the following Grub loading, please wait... Error 22 So it looks as if the installer got as far as erasing the existing OSs. Not sure how relevant this is I just thought I'd add it for completeness of information.

[Bug 99908] Re: The ext3 file system creation in partition #1 of SCSI1 (0, 0, 0) (sda) failed.
Hmm, I wonder. Before starting the installer, could you please try editing /lib/partman/commit.d/30parted, and putting 'update-dev' right after close_dialog? So the whole script should read: #!/bin/sh . /lib/partman/definitions.sh disable_swap for dev in $DEVICES/*; do [ -d $dev ] || continue cd $dev open_dialog COMMIT close_dialog update-dev done I'd be interested to know if this helps; it seems like a good possibility, as the reason that mkfs.ext3 failed was that the device node /dev/sda1 didn't exist. ** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) = Colin Watson Status: Unconfirmed = Needs Info -- The ext3 file system creation in partition #1 of SCSI1 (0,0,0) (sda) failed. https://launchpad.net/bugs/99908 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 99908] Re: The ext3 file system creation in partition #1 of SCSI1 (0, 0, 0) (sda) failed.
The suggested fix works perfectly. Technically the two tests weren't exactly equal. Originally I had both Kubuntu and Xubuntu installed on the system before the problem occurred. However the original problem hosed these installs. I re-installed Kubuntu 7.04 beta just so there was something on the disk. I launched the installer from a terminal with ubiquity --debug and went through the steps and selected 'guided - use entire disk' on the partitioning page. Clicked through the remaining steps and the installation completed without errors. If you think the quantity of stuff on the disk is an issue I can reinstall both kubuntu and xubuntu and test the fix again. I am about to test todays daily build Kubuntu 20070402, I'll report back if the problem still exists. -- The ext3 file system creation in partition #1 of SCSI1 (0,0,0) (sda) failed. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/99908 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
