[Bug 147422] Re: gutsy install stops after formatting partitions

[Phillip Susi]

Gutsy reached end of life some time ago.  Are you able to reproduce this
on 12.04 or higher?

Title:
  gutsy install stops after formatting partitions

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  Ubuntu 7.10 beta, ubiquity 1.5.18

  While running the installer, after custom partitioning 5%
  through "Installing System" the installer stops working (without a
  crash - just no activity). The Live-CD system is still usable (I write
  this on the system). The kern.log ends with these three
  lines:

  Sep 30 21:25:39 ubuntu kernel: [ 3643.416000] __open_file: branch 0
  lower_mnt_idx NULL! Set to df8f7a00
  Sep 30 21:25:39 ubuntu kernel: [ 3643.416000] __open_file: opened
  f4eec110, string.pyc
  Sep 30 21:25:39 ubuntu kernel: [ 3643.416000] __open_file: branches
  bstart 0, bend 0

  but I don't if that is relevant. Other potentially interesting
  information: /var/log/installer/debug report version 1.5.18 and
  otherwise only complains about the locale failing to fall back to "C"
  from "sv_SE.UTF-8" due to missing files.

  The install CD is OK (I checked the media before trying to install).

  Some work has been done to the new partitions:
  ubuntu at ubuntu:/var/log$ df -h
  Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
  tmpfs                 759M   33M  727M   5%

  /dev/sda1             6.9G  144M  6.4G   3% /target
  /dev/sda7              15G  165M   14G   2% /target/home
  /dev/sda2              12G   11G  455M  97% /target/windows

  I retried using ubiquity --debug with the same result.
