Install with 20090114 failed same way, insisted it couldn't make changes to the partition table with a /cdrom partition mounted, since I was installing from a CD image in a partition as I usually do.
I DON'T WANT ANY CHANGES TO THE PARTITION TABLE! CERTAINLY NO CHANGES TO ANY OTHER PARTITION THAN THE ONE BEING INSTALLED TO! gparted has no trouble formatting a partition with no effect on any other partition, ubiquity should have no trouble either. I had already formatted the partition with gparted and manual partition install only needed to set the mount point to / which should not require any changes in any other partition! This is a 7 boot system and I was installing to 1 partition with no size or any other changes. I don't know if setting mount point to / requires a partition change, but should certainly not need changing any other partition at all. Anyone have any clue whether ubiquity is trying to rewrite the entire table, BAD NEWS, or is it just doing a check to see if anything is mounted? Having another partition mounted than the one being changed doesn't cause gparted any trouble, it should not cause ubiquity any trouble either.
