Bug#602129: Further information on bug #602129
I tried to install again this morning, encountered the same problem
with partitioning, continued with 2GB free space and no swap. On the
first reboot, presentation of the login dialogue box was delayed by
about 20 seconds. When the password was entered, the box became greyed
and the system hung indefinitely while the disk activity light showed
irregular activity.
I performed a second reboot with the hardware on/off switch. Messages on
screen included:
partition 1 does not start on a track boundary
/dev/ad4s1: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY: RUN fsck MANUALLY
fsck died with exit status 8
On being dropped to a root shell I ran
fdisk -l /dev/ad4
which gave
last_lba(): I don't know how to handle files with mode 20660
