I was all over Ubuntu forums trying to fix a grub error 17. I cfdisk'ed and fdisked all over the place. I deleted partitions and tried to rewrite them as forums directed. Nothing worked. I gave up.
Now I am trying to reinstall. I have edgy eft, feisty fawn and gutsy; none are installing.
In edgy eft rescue mode I get this message over and over:
Failed to create a swap space. The creation of swap space in partition #5 of IDE1 master (hda) failed.
I only have Ubuntu on the laptop, no dual boot, and I didn't manually partition the disk. It is a toshiba tecra S1 laptop, and runs all three ubuntus off the live disks fine.
Help?
