Comment 13 for bug 99908

Feisty Xubuntu 20070414
1.2 gHz Celeron 512mb
4 boot system:
hda1 Win98, hda2 Ubuntu Dapper, hda3 Swap
hdb1 Xubuntu Edgy, hdb2 Swap, hdb3 Ubuntu Feisty up to date

All 4 boot and run just fine.

Test install Xubuntu Feisty on hdb1
manual delete partition
new partition
format partition
migration assistant and all that

"The ext3 file system creation in partition #1 of IDE1 slave (hdb) failed."

This repeats every time with 20070410, 20070411, 20070414

I turned right around and installed Xubuntu Edgy on the same partition successfully. I suspect Kubuntu and Ubuntu would fail as well, I've rsync'd them if useful.

I can re-create this format failure at will; what information would be useful and what steps are taken to get it?
