Same problem here, using the Ubuntu 9.10, amd64 final release disk. I downloaded the .iso, burned it, and used the "check disk for errors" option before installing. Disk was fine. I then selected "Install Ubuntu" from the first menu and it hung on the "Prepare Partitions" exactly as described in the initial bug report. I then rebooted and selected the "Try Ubuntu" option. Once the LiveCD system booted up, I opened a terminal and ran "ubiquity -d" and collected the info requested by Evan Dandrea. I copied the logs into a directory on a USB drive, tar'ed them, and attached them here.
I though that perhaps the problem with detecting the partition might be the wrong version of Grub on my hard disk. So, I installed Grub2 on my hard drive with my Ubuntu 9.04. Works fine, but it made no difference to the 9.10 install. ** Attachment added: "Install_errors.tar.gz" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/34976804/Install_errors.tar.gz -- Live install step "Prepare partitions" hangs on 9.10-beta 64bits https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/448316 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
