Hi Guys, I seem to have a similar problem during installation but I am using preseed files + linuxcoe installation disc.
I have configured three partitions: /home, /, swap. The idea is when re-installations are nessaccary, to simply kill / and swap and leave /home. This works fine on some systems but gives "no root file system is specified" error on others during the installation - text only, no gui. ALT+F4 gives - "No matching physical volumes found" and "No volume groups found" All systems tested are Dell as the company I work for standardized. All tests were with the same cd and same preseed files using parted v1.7.1. Libata module is used for the harddrive. As soon as I remove the string specifing /home, I get the error msg. If I leave the string, it leaves the original /home, and creates the new partitions - /home, /, swap eg 2x /home partitions. The startup disk I have comes from http://www.instalinux.com/ and I configured the preseed files to our server details. I have tried killing all partitions with fdisk and Partition magic, recreating the /home before installation, and even running it on a blank harddrive. It seems to not like some systems. Any ideas as to what I could try? Thank you very much, Craig. -- mount points preparation locked - "No root file system" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/67130 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
