No detailed error messages, just the usual one (creation > failed). I assume the failure is after you confirm the changes to partitions can be committed? And I also assume the error message is something like: "The jfs file system creation in partition #${PARTITION} of ${DEVICE} failed." I cannot reproduce this problem on an Intel x86 system. I did find a minor error in the script, but that does not cause failure for me. Could you please repeat the installation and, before you accept the partitioning changes, switch to VT2 and, using nano, make the following changes in /lib/partman/commit.d/50format_jfs: ** Change the first line to read: #!/bin/sh -x ** Add the "]" in the line indicated below: case $filesystem in jfs) if - [ -f $id/formatted -a $id/formatted -nt $id/method \ + [ -f $id/formatted -a $id/formatted -nt $id/method ] \ && [ ! -f $id/filesystem \ -o $id/formatted -nt $id/filesystem ] then The resulting trace from the script will be in /var/log/syslog. Cheers, FJP
