Hi, folks. I just spent the past 3 days pulling my hair out with installations and am happy to find this page. I recently tried a JFS partition and got wise to turn tail the syslog during installation. I didn't confirm during my XFS installations but I bet if I had the energy to confirm the output it would be similar. I confirm that I can also run the command manually to completion. I hope not to get the dreaded CRC error I was getting after my XFS attempts when I reboot this time.

Linux ubuntu 2.6.28-11-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 17 01:58:03 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Is there a fix pending? Sounds like from what I read this is quite an old bug? I probably worked around this issue somehow the last time I installed Ubuntu about a year ago or so, but I repressed those memories.

Thanks.
