** Description changed: Intrepid Ibis alternate install fails when attempting to use this - technique: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromWindows to - boot the iso from hdd. + technique: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromWindows + (CD image version at bottom of page) to boot the iso from hdd. I'm not actually booting from windows, just using the technique to boot the installer on a low-ram, no-cdrom computer. The drive is pre- partitioned and formatted, so all I need to do at the partition step of the alternate installer is to choose the proper partition to install to, and set its mountpoint. The drive is partitioned as such: grub on mbr of sda (the only drive) grub files on sda1/boot/grub sda1=ext3 4 gb (working slackware install) sda2=swap 1gb sda3=fat32 1gb (used only as a temporary storage for the install iso) sda4=ext3 13 gb (where I want to install to) This technique boots the iso from sda3 perfectly, but when the installer gets to the partitioning step, it doesn't show any hdds, even though it's booted from the hdd. fdisk from busybox sees the hdd fine. Maybe this is related to detecting the install media on sda3 so refuses to partition/install to sda? I can confirm that this bug exists only in Intrepid, because after fighting for hours to get Intrepid installed this way, I tried with Hardy and had no problems. Also, I'm positive that the intrepid iso is not corrupted, as it passes md5sum and self-test (when booted in a VirtualBox VM) Tom -- intrepid alternate install fails when booted from hdd https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/310260 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
