[Bug 780120] Re: failed to install ubuntu11.04 over old 10.10 partition

[Brian Murray]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.  Reviewing your log files attached to this bug report it
seems that there is a problem with the disk to which you are trying to
install Ubuntu.  I'd recommend performing a back up of your existing
operating system and then investigating the situation.  Measures you
might take include checking cable connections for your disks and using
software tools to investigate the health of your hardware.  In the event
that is is not in fact an error with your hardware please set the bug's
status back to New.  Thanks and good luck!

Title:
  failed to install ubuntu11.04 over old 10.10 partition

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  Install of ubuntu 11.04 over an old partition with 10.10 /without reformatting) failed.
  I tried upgrading from 10.10 earlier but upgrade stopped in the middle. System unbootable since. Saying that no init can be found.
  Will try formatting the partition now.
  I had to put syslog and partman in one file since you  don have an option for uploading multiple files.
  partman starts on line 3284
