Hi Ervin, If I'm right Ubuntu uses that ******** ***** ** **** called Parted, which is probably the source of your error.
Ubuntu is an excellent easy-to-use Linux distribution for desktop PCs, but it's usefulness for an an environment such as an embedded device is questionable. I suggest you try running Debian instead. Its installer is a lot more robust and flexible than Ubuntu's. I personally find the Ubuntu installer horrible, both in usability and performance. A possible alternative: I recently installed an Ubuntu Server dist, which seems to run [at least most of] the standard Debian installer. Went without a single glitch.
