Public bug reported:
The following was during a Feisty Herd CD 5 install
1) Booted to the CD.
2) Formatted both partitions (hda1 and hda5) as ext2 (hda5 is my swap
partition). Yes I purposly formatted both this way. Just expected the
installer to correctly reformat hda5 as swap.
3) Completed the install letting the installer auto partition so that
/dev/hda1 is primary (ext3) and /dev/hda5 is swap.
4) The first reboot hung, switched the console and saw that it was
complaining about not being able to mount /dev/hda5 as ext2. (Which must
have been correctly reformatted as swap)
5) Typed exit and the boot continued.
6) Edited fstab and saw two entries for /dev/hda5. The first entry was
listed as ext2, the second as swap.
7) Remove the /dev/hda5 ext2 entry from fstab, left the /dev/hda5 swap
entry as is (both lines specified UUID)
8) Rebooted no swap
9) mkswap /dev/hda5, (just in case)
10) Rebooted no swap
11) changed the UUID to /dev/hda5 for swap line
12) Rebooted swap works
It appears as if the installer noticed both ext2 partitions, therefore
it added them to fstab, even though during the install process one of
them was converted to swap.
