Hardy and Intrepid installations freeze at partitioning stage

[Joe Feinstein]

Package: Official Ubuntu 8.04 and 8.10 CD-ROMs.

Environment used for testing: Sony TZ laptop with Windows XP installed.

Goal: Create a dual (Ubuntu/Win XP) boot.

Summary: Hardy and Intrepid installations freeze at the partitioning stage when trying to set up partitioning manually and going back and forth through partitioning screens.

Steps to reproduce: Start the installation. When coming to the partitioning stage, choose the manual partitioning and change a partitioning decision multiple times, going back and forth through the screens.

At some moment, the screen completely freezes and all control is lost - powering down the machine is the only option.

On the other hand, when making a partitioning decision once (without going back and forth through the screens), the installation proceeds normally.

Observed with both Hardy and Intrepid.

Dear joe, have you tried with last ubuntu version if this still occurring?

Official support for Hardy and Intrepid has ended. If this problem is still occurring on Ubuntu 13.04 "Raring Ringtail" please file a new bug report.
