Bug Description

Lubuntu desktop i386,

Yesterday I could install the system of the same testcase, 'Install (entire disk)', but the installed system did not work. Today I get stuck earlier, when the installer is trying to create the ext4 file system. (It is in the same computer and target drive as yesterday.)

The testcase 'Install (manual partitioning)' works like yesterday. The system can be installed, but the installed system does not work (because of another bug, the 'mtab' bug).

This happens and can be repeated with one target drive. But when I replaced it with another target drive in the same computer, the installation continued past creating the ext4 file system with the testcase 'Install (entire disk)'.

Maybe there was some kind of time-out or failed hand-shaking. (The first drive is not broken, I installed ToriOS afterwards without problems.)

Anyway, this bug has low priority unless someone else is affected by it.
