[Bug 1909415] Re: Installer crashes on a external kingston SD disk

[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 (sda3). I notice in the logs

Dec 27 14:06:10 ubuntu kernel: [ 1544.082604] EXT4-fs error (device sda3): ext4_iget:4764: inode #528225: comm install.py: bad extra_isize 65535 (inode size 256)

I've marked this bug as incomplete (due possible 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
(https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Smartmontools). If you're unfamiliar
with these, I suggest seeking support, options available can be seen at
