Same thing happened to me (or I got an error code very close to this)
when I tried to manually edit the partition table, but not out of
intention to test this bug. I had some JFS partitions on my hard drive,
and a swap partition, and a partition without any actual format. I
removed all of those partitions, and then then manually editting the
partition table worked (and the "use the largest contiguous free space"
option showed up this time too), but get this, when I did go into manual
editting, the only partitions I could create were ext2, fat32, fat16,
and linux-swap. What in the world? When I installed this on my
downstairs stationary computer, it worked fine. I set up two JFS
partitions and one swap partition no problem. But now on my Sony VAIO
it's failing miserably. What gives?
So annoying, cause I use 6.06 on the stationary one and it's great and
I'd really love it for my laptop.
Maybe I'll try using alternate, I guess. Oh, and by the vay... I suppose
I had better put up my logs for this to prove I'm not just making this
junk up. I didn't record the actual error message before I fixed the
problem, which is a downer, and may make this effort useless, but it was
pretty much the one above, I seem to remember the same line numbers.
Here are the logs for my system and its problems anyway, in case you
want to check'em'out. Sweetheart. (What can I say, I have an affection
for you ([kxedu]{0-3}ubuntu developers)).
