Installer crash after partitioning

[Darryl Moore]

I attempted to install 6.06 without reformatting any of my hard drive.

The following error resulted....

Traceback (most recent call last):

The installer asked you to attach /var/log/installer/syslog and
/var/log/partman. Could you please do so using the "Add Attachment"
link on the bug page?

Thanks.

You must reformat at least the / partition.

installer crashes always after manual partitioning

[Peter Kreussel (pkreussel)]

/var/log/syslog

[Peter Kreussel (pkreussel)]

/var/log/partman

[Colin Watson (cjwatson)]

Peter, please file a new bug. Your bug is not the same as this one.

[Colin Watson (cjwatson)]

Thanks for your report. At present, you must reformat system partitions (e.g. /, /boot, /usr, or /var) during installation; bug 47046 is filed to note that the partitioner should warn you about this up-front. If you are upgrading an existing installation, then please see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperUpgrades rather than using this installer.
