Hi Mathieu. The system (ASUS X97) has only one disk attached, an Intel series 320 SSD in M.2 form factor with the motherboard configured to use the M.2 slot as NVMe. The disk is partitioned as a GPT device, with one (empty) EXT4 partition when the install starts. The install medium is a USB connected flash memory device. The selected install option is the first one for systems with no existing operating system detected.
The installer proposes creating two partition, the EFISYS FAT partition and the remainder of the drive an a single EXT4 partition. I accept this and ensure "format partition" is selected. The confirmation dialog indicates these choices are selected Postmortem shows the EFI partition is created, the EXT4 partition is not. I am told this morning by a source of unknown reliability that my particular motherboard (ASUS Z97Pro) does not support booting from an NVMe device. This could certainly be the case. The Intel device works fine for storage in a live session when mounted manually. I can install Cosmic to the same system if I add a Samsung 580EVO SSD at port SATA0 and use that as the install target. If specified, the installer will properly set up the Intel device as an additional storage medium. So, given that, at this point it appears likely I experienced a motherboard limitation rather than a bug in Cosmic. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1798679 Title: 18.10 installer crashed just after time zone selection To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1798679/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
