Public bug reported:
I have a 20GB Western Digital IDE drive on which I had previously
installed eComstation 1.2R (OS/2 Warp 4.5 codebase with many changes -
website is at www.ecomstation.com).
The drive was partioned thus:
4GB: Primary Bootable HPFS
Remainder: Logical HPFS, non-Bootable
I did *not* have IBM's PartitionManager installed.
I attempted to install Ubuntu 7.04 from the CD Canonical sent - I booted into
the LiveCD mode, double clicked on the "Install" icon.
Whether using the standard or advanced partitioning method, I would get
a pop-up error box during the install at around 10-15% saying that
Ubuntu had failed to create the ext3 partition for hd0 master
(apologies, I did not write down the exact message).
I eventually used the advance method to select ReiserFS instead, and the
installation worked fine, no other problems at all during the install.
The swap partition size defaulted to 880Mb and I kept it as that.
Other settings I made during the install:
Language: English
Location: London, United Kingdom
Keyboard: UK, UK
Default User: Administrator
My PC: AMD Athlon 2400+, 872MB memory, ATi A3 chipset with built in Radeon7000
graphics plus dual-head support allocated 128Mb, sorry not sure what kind of
sund card it is ("ALi"?), standard Realtek 10/100 networking, DVD-ROM, DVD-RW,
PS/2 Mouse and Keyboard.
** Affects: Ubuntu
Importance: Undecided
