[Bug 1907076] Re: Error while installing Ubuntu

[Chris Guiver]

Thank you for taking the time to report this issue and helping to make
Ubuntu better.

This installation looks like it was caused by a corrupted file system,
or device problems (sda1). I notice in the logs

I've marked this bug as incomplete (due hardware issues), if you believe
I'm in error please leave a comment as to why, and you can return the
status to "New".

I suggest you validate the health of your hardware (esp. disk by
checking it's SMART status using `smartctl`, `gnome-disks` or whichever
tool you prefer), and possibly the integrity of your partition table. If
you're unfamiliar with these, I suggest seeking looking up  refer to
