[Bug 902113] Re: Ubiquity reports "No root file, use partitioning menu" but there is no partitioning menu

[Steven Pemberton]

Well, I understand that Ubuntu 11.10 has expired, but *has the bug been
fixed*? That's the important thing. Otherwise other people will still
come up against it, and not be able to install Ubuntu.

Title:
  Ubiquity reports "No root file, use partitioning menu" but there is no
  partitioning menu

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Trying to install 11.10 on a machine with 4 partitions, and I want to
  use one of the partitions.

  After selecting the partition I want to use, I get a cryptic dialogue
  box:

   "No root file system is defined. Please correct this from the
  partitioning menu."

  Apart from being impossible to understand, there is no partitioning
  menu.
