[Bug 35389] Re: Dapper flight 5: Installation hangs at formating harddisk progress

[Mikko Saarinen]

I am using Beta 2 and in my case the installation has hanged twice when
I have manually set the partitions.

I first deleted all partitions and then made hda "/", hdb "/home" and
hdc "swap". In the next screen the installer offered to create
filesystems to "/" and "swap". I selected all of the partitions and
changed the order so that hda was at the topmost box and hdc at the
bottom. I also verified that these pointed to correct mount points. Then
I clicked Install.

After a short file the installer started to create the filesystems and
exited wit an error message saying something like root file system not
found (I was using localised version so am not sure of the exact
message).

I had to reboot the machine to get the installer to work again.

The third time I did the partitioning I did not remove any partitions
and at the next screen didn't change the order of the filesystems - just
added the missing one (home?) and selected all to be formatted. This
time the installer worked.
