Title:
  The ext3 file system creation in partition #1 of SCSI1 (0,0,0) (sda)
  failed.

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  Testing installation from Kubuntu daily build 20070401.
  Test system
  HP Pavilion N5472
  20GB HDD
  256MB RAM

  Started installer from desktop icon. At disk partitioning step
  selected 'guided - use entire disk'. Proceeded through steps 5 and 6
  then clicked the install button. System displays an 'Installing
  System' box with a progress bar. Progress bar gets to 5% then a
  message box appears with the message:

  The ext3 file system creation in partition #1 of SCSI1 (0,0,0) (sda)
  failed.

  Clicking on OK on this message box drops me back to the disk
  partitioning page. If I select 'guided - use entire disk' again I get
  the same result. I will post /var/log/syslog and /var/log/partman. Is
  anything else required?

  At the start of today the HDD of this system had a working
  installation of Xubuntu feisty on it from an earlier daily build test.
  Earlier today I used the same CD that generated the above error to
  install Kubuntu selecting 'guided - auto-resize' as the partitioning
  method. At this point I had working installations of both Xubuntu and
  Kubuntu on this system. It's only if I try to use the entire disk that
  installation fails. The md5sum of the ISO checks out and 'Check CD for
  defects' returned no errors.

  Just ask if any other info is required or if you want extra tests
  tried.
