Comment 11 for bug 1861912

Apologies for the lack of logs. When this error occurs the system pops up with "The ext4 file system creation in partition#5 of SCSI3 (0,0,0) (sdb) failed." and locks up hard. I cannot get to a TTY.

The T60 system has an Intel 180GB SSD.
The installation media used was a 16GB USB drive.

The system exists exclusively for testing. When this error first occurred and reported the system was running Ubuntu MATE 18.04.3 from the last point release testing final release and had been installed entire disk using ext4.

The Lubuntu team asked me to recreate the issue using 18.04.3 and again I was able to recreate the issue installing using with auto-resizing.

Installing to entire disk or manually partitioning works as expected.

In subsequent errors the popup shows a different partition number...ie "partition#x of SCSI3 (0,0,0) (sdb)

What is odd in that the system when booted with the install media it shows that the OS is installed on /dev/sda and it shows the USB install media as /dev/sdb
