I was able to reproduce the bug in a VirtualBox environment. So the disk drive size is not the same, but the positions of the partitions *is* the same as what I initially reported. I used VirtualBox to:
1. Run the Ubuntu 8.04 installer so that I could use it to partition the (virtual) drive. 2. Run the OpenSolaris 2008.05 installer to set the partition type of the third primary partition to 0xBF and install OpenSolaris 2008.05 onto that partition. 3. Run the Ubuntu 8.04 installer to install Ubuntu 8.04, thereby wiping out my OpenSolaris 2008.05 install because of the incorrect usage of the third primary partition as a swap partition. I verified that the Ubuntu 8.04 installer changed the partition type from 0xBF to 0x82. I will attach the requested files. -- Installer assumes partition of type 0xBF is swap https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/239276 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
