I have made many installs of various boxes, and exploring logs of the iso.qa.ubu link in comment #3 i see only two references to this issue (within a few days of each other), which include the following
---
hp dc7700 (c2d-e6320, 8gb, amd/ati rv610/radeon hd2400 pro/xt)
testcase: install using existing partition
---
- boot install media
- using manual partitioning, selecting an existing partition (for /) BUT DO NOT FORMAT (ie. re-use it...)
This is NO longer possible with Xubuntu as FORMAT is now mandatory (due to another bug, scheduled for fix post-release of noble..)
I'll add some non-standard packages to one of my installed systems on dc7700 (per testcase; something for installer to re-install), then attempt to re-create this issue & reply back in an hour (or three) and see if it re-occurs... then provide detailed description of what I did (if issue re-occurs).

I've made four installs on that box today (https:/ /iso.qa. ubuntu. com/qatracker/ milestones/ 453/builds/ 300140/ testcases/ 1701/results/) yet did NOT experience the issue. Currently the box has two installs (first was full disk, then auto-resize equiv.. ) so I'll try and repeat the install I made in the next hour+ and see if it occurs.
Lubuntu testcases are described here - https:/ /discourse. lubuntu. me/t/testing- checklist- understanding- the-testcases/ 2743
but an INSTALL USING EXISTING PARTITION means
- boot install media
- using manual partitioning, selecting an existing partition (for /) BUT DO NOT FORMAT (ie. re-use it...)
This is NO longer possible with Xubuntu as FORMAT is now mandatory (due to another bug, scheduled for fix post-release of noble..)
