How much memory does the system you're installing to have? Is is a partition with less than 2 GB of memory?
I'm doing my testing on virtual machines, and easily get I/o errors on them if they use the default memory allocation on startup. If I specify to use 2GB of memory, then I have no errors and the installation completes normally. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1630017 Title: Ubuntu 16.10 installation with root as JFS file system fails To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/partman-prep/+bug/1630017/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
