It's possible that the problem is caused by moving back and forth between screens 5 and 6 of the installer. Here's why:
I was able to install Ubuntu on the system described in my previous comment (2006-11-05 08:43:56 UTC). In this successful sequence I did not go back from screen 6 to screen 5. (Screen 6 is the one that shows your configuration and asks for confirmation before actually installing files. Screen 5 is the screen that allows manual adjustment of partitions). In the previous attempt (described in the previous comment), I had moved back and forth several times because I wasn't sure which partition name ('sda5', 'sda6', etc.) was assigned to each of my newly created primary partitions. I still have my old 40 GB drive. If I find time, I'll use it to test this hypothesis. -- Installer Crash: ValueError: invalid literal for int() https://launchpad.net/bugs/42774 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
