I have this problem as well on the official Ubuntu Edgy RC Live/Install CD, same symptoms as the original reporter. The error is very strange, since a partition is already selected for /
The result seems to be the same for with the "Reformat?" box checked or unchecked. |

Can you both, please attach /var/log/installer/syslog and /var/log/partman to this bug, by commenting on the bug's web page?
(guess you should include your name in attachment description).
Hezekiah please also attach your /var/log/syslog file.

ubiquity (1.3.0) feisty; urgency=low
* Defend a bit more against the apt cache going insane (closes: Malone
#67689).
* Handle EFAULT IOError exceptions while copying files (closes: Malone
#67598).
* KDE frontend: Treat more user-entered strings as Unicode rather than
ASCII (closes: Malone #64667, #66742).
* KDE frontend: Hide auto-resize frame rather than merely disabling it.
* KDE frontend: Use a single progress bar for all copy and configuration
steps.
* KDE frontend: Disable going back or forward once the install progress
bar is up. (Why is the main window still visible at this point, anyway?)
* Fix mount point validation to avoid accidentally skipping a number of
checks on pre-existing partitions, including the "is there a root file
system?" check (closes: Malone #67130).
* GTK frontend: Include zoom-in.png in ubiquity-frontend-gtk so that the
magnifying glass cursor is displayed on the timezone page (closes:
Malone #68238).
* Drop support for old ESPRESSO_DEBUG environment variable.
* Add an intro message noting that we're alpha again.
* Save /target/var/lib/dpkg/status to
/target/var/log/installer/initial-status.gz; suggested by Jason
Whitlark.
* Remove a bunch of unnecessary imports noticed by pyflakes, and add a
couple of missing ones.
* Account for a new file shipped by grub-installer.
* Account for tzsetup's finish-install script becoming a
post-base-installer script.
* Fix the way we switch pages to update state properly if "switching" to
the current page.
* Automatic update of included source packages: apt-setup 1:0.16ubuntu1,
base-installer 1.68ubuntu1, choose-mirror 2.08ubuntu1, clock-setup
0.12ubuntu1, console-setup 1.13ubuntu3, debian-installer-utils
1.38ubuntu1, grub-installer 1.19ubuntu1, hw-detect 1.43ubuntu1,
localechooser 1.30ubuntu1, partconf 1.19, silo-installer 1.07ubuntu1,
tzsetup 1:0.14, user-setup 1.7ubuntu1, yaboot-installer 1.1.8ubuntu1.
(partman-* will be updated next time round, when we're ready for it.)

Using edgy RC (daily-live build from 2006-10-17).
I run ubiquity, choose manual partitioning and leave the partitions as they are. Then I assign mount points. However whatever the assignment is, I cannot move forward. The "No root file system" message appears despite of root mount point being chosen (see the screenshot). |
Ubiquity's advanced partitioner in Edgy cannot reuse an existing partition as the root file system, and will incorrectly claim "No root file system". Deleting and re-creating the partition in question in the advanced partitioner is a workaround (since you must reformat the partition anyway), but this is very confusing and causes many failed installations.
This bug was introduced due to an attempt to fix handling of HFS bootstrap partitions, and was corrected in ubiquity 1.3.0 in Feisty; I have not heard of any regressions due to this fix. The validation code did not take account of the fact that the 'fstype' variable is set to None for pre-existing partitions as well as for special-purpose partitions such as HFS bootstrap partitions. |
