In order to reproduce the problem, I did the following: 1- I did the download of Ubuntu 6.10 RC on Oct 20th 2- The system booted on Gnome perfectly 3- I've double clicked over Ubiquity 4- My hard disk is pretty well partioned already. I dont need to make or change partitions. I can use the partitions I already have. So I closed gparted that was open by Ubiquity. 5- I did the following configuration:
/dev/sda1 - PRIMARY - This partition have a Windows XP OS installed in Mount point as "/media/sda1" /dev/sda2 - PRIMARY - This partition dont have nothing, its just a single ext3 partition ready for install - Mount point as "/" /dev/sda3 - PRIMARY - This partition have my homedirs. I cant format this partition because my files are in there - Mount point as "/home" /dev/sda4 - EXTENDED /dev/sda5 - SWAP /dev/sda6 - LOGICAL - This partition have some backups and is FAT32. I use this for file transfer betwen Windows and Linux. 6- After all these configurations, Ubiquity prompted an error saying that I didn't set a root partition (/). But it was already created and selected as shown in the screenshot attached to this bug. 7- I tried to install in many ways, with many different configs in order to pass thru this step but I was unable to proceed. 8- I restardted Ubiquity and I just set the / partion, a /home partition anda swap, ignoring the other partitions. 9- I restardted Ubiquity and I just set the root (/) partition. Then I got the same error. 10- I tried more then 10 times with different combinations, always getting the same error. 11- Since nothing was working, I restarded the LiveCD and entered in the Safe Graphics mode. 12- I've repeated all the previous proceedings and I got the same error.
