Bug Description

While manually partitioning a 500GB SATA drive during the install process, I received the following error messages with partitions larger than 200GB:

"Can't have the end before the start".

I didn't pinpoint the exact size the caused the problem, but I created a 200014 MB partition successfully, but a 225000 MB partition would give that message.

The partition I was creating was any partition on the disk. These were logical partitions using reiserfs.

Please let me know if there are more details I can provide you.

If I try a reinstall, I'll provide more information as suggested. However, given the problems that exist with the 7.04 Live CD (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/103677) I might not.

I did figure the above was sufficient information -- try an install and make a partition that is 225+ GB. You'll get the error.

Thanks for responding and reminding me that I need to include logs. I'll make a better effort to do so in the future.
