Trying to install Ubuntu Feisty Fawn on this laptop: Medion 42427 256 MB RAM
I have previously installed xubuntu 6.04 on that laptop, with success. Now trying to install Ubuntu (Fresh install, no dual boot). I now get this error: "The ext3 file system creation in partition #3 of IDE1 master (hda) failed." Tried the fix suggested in above post https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/99908/comments/4 (editing /lib/partman/commit.d/30parted) but that did not work, still the same error occurs. 2 LOGS: >From /var/log/syslog: Dec 3 14:12:02 ubuntu ubiquity[23691]: Step_before = stepUserInfo Dec 3 14:12:02 ubuntu ubiquity[23691]: switched to page stepReady Dec 3 14:12:02 ubuntu ubiquity[23691]: Step_after = stepReady Dec 3 14:12:05 ubuntu ubiquity[23691]: debconffilter_done: Summary (current: Su mmary) Dec 3 14:12:07 ubuntu ubiquity[23691]: Step_before = stepReady Dec 3 14:12:07 ubuntu ubiquity[23691]: progress_loop() Dec 3 14:12:10 ubuntu ubiquity: swapoff: /dev/hda3: Cannot allocate memory Dec 3 14:12:11 ubuntu NetworkManager: <debug info>^I[1196691131.234203] nm_hal_ device_removed (): Device removed (hal udi is '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volu me_uuid_8916d1b8_4972_46cb_bffa_377ee4a5bdfd').
