[Bug 2103493] Re: Subiquity crashes due to a failure of the sfdisk command during the installation of Ubuntu 24.04.2 Desktop on ESXi.

[Olivier Gayot]

Hello,

I'm not familiar with ESXi but this bug looks similar to bug 2097226 and
its private duplicates. Can you consistently reproduce the issue? Does
it help if you start from a zero-ed disk?

Thank you
