Public bug reported:
I'm still just following up on testing related to bug 766265. I'd
performed a couple of tests on my old VIA Win XP box, with only XP
installed prior to testing "install alongside" both with and without
free space, and I'd encountered no problems, but I decided to do some
retesting on my Intel box with two hard drives:
ubuntu at ubuntu:~$ sudo parted -l
Model: ATA WDC WD5000AAKS-0 (scsi)
Disk /dev/sda: 500GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: msdos

Disk /dev/sdb: 80.0GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: msdos

1 1049kB 77.9GB 77.9GB primary ext4
2 77.9GB 80.0GB 2136MB extended
5 77.9GB 80.0GB 2136MB logical linux-swap(v1)
And the installation fails saying "the creation of swap space in
partition #9 of SCSI1 (0,0,0) (sda) failed". Then clicking on OK opens a
new window saying "an error occurred while writing the changes to the
storage devices. The resize operation has been aborted."
But then clicking on OK does nothing and the installer can't be quit or
anything without rebooting.
