[Bug 924455] Re: Failed to create swap space during partitioning

This actually looks like a kernel bug to me:

Title:
  kernel oops running installer

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Running the installer for Edubuntu Alpha 2 32bit on a VirtBox VM.  VM
  has a 12.9GB disk.

  Installer correctly decided on a partitioning scheme and when it
  attempted to create partitions, returned a failure (and popped an
  error dialog up) stating that it failed to create swap space.

  There was no indication in the installer as tperhpas one of the
  attached logs will shed light on why the swap creation failed.  I
  clicked OK in the error dialog and proceeded with the instalation.

  This brought me right back to the partitoning screen.

  Initially, my only option was to erase and install, because the disk
  was already partitioned out with two installations. So I chose erase
  and install, prompting the failure.  After clicking OK on the error
  dialog mentioned above, I was brought right back to the installer,
  this time providing the options for side by side, upgrade, erase and
  install and advanced.

  So on this second run through the partitioner, I chose again, erase
  and install.  This again told me that the entire 12.9 GB disk would be
  used. So I clicked Install Now to being the partitioning and
  installation.

  Here's the error from the dialog box, which appeared the second time
  as well:

  The creation of swap space in partition #5 of SCSI1 (0,0,0) (sda)
  failed
