Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: parted
1)
r...@ubuntu:~# lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
Release: 10.04
The same happens with 10.10rc of 1 Oct 2010
2)
r...@ubuntu:~# apt-cache policy parted
parted:
Installed: 2.2-5ubuntu5
Candidate: 2.2-5ubuntu5
Version table:
*** 2.2-5ubuntu5 0
500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
3) expected to be able to use a 64GB Verbatim ExpressCard/34 SSD for
Ubuntu
4) Ubuntu Live sees the SSD OK as /dev/sdc (see below),
But "Install Ubultu 10.04LTS" hangs during the partition stage (syslog and
partman logs attached).
The automatic error reporting system fails as well saying "the error
happened in assertion".
The latest OpenSUSE and Mandriva behave exactly the same, although Mandriva
says
"A bug has been detected in GNU Parted.
Email to ... containing
version 2.2
assertion (head_size<=63) at dos.c:659
in function probe_partition_for_geom() failed."
I reported it bug-parted.
