Ubuntu Server partitioning stop at 33%

Printer-friendly versionSend to friendPDF version

Recently we had a job where it required us to install and configure an Ubuntu Server version 8.04 LTS (Customer's requirements). We manage to install and upgrade all the packages within the system and added a GUI for the machine to be managed over the Internet.

Basically, the server was an Acer machine with a Core 2 Duo processor, 1 GB DDR 2 RAM, and a 160GB Sata Drive. During installation we had bumped into an issue, that it stops half way during partition HDD after configuring the disk to be installed using the Guided - Use Entire Disk. The option show on the below image.

Right after this option, the wizard will prompt to start installation by performing the partitioning of the HDD. Once you hit the "YES" to proceed to the partitioning the HDD, it will go up to 33% and stop... forever. Thinking that its doing its job at the background, a mystery really because you cant identify any activity except by looking at the screen percentage bar or  at the HDD LED on the server / machine casing.(back to basics). Not much help.

This is due to 1 of the 2 ram modules being faulty. Yes, prior to installation always perform the MEMTEST provided by the Ubuntu Server disk. Found out that 1 out of the 2.. 512MB memory sticks is the causing the issue. Error message appears as such once you run the MEMTEST, check it out.

Image above taken from www.divideandconquer.se/.../

Remove faulty RAM and installed Ubuntu Server on the good 512MB Ram, and it had perform the partitioning as quick as you can grab something from the fridge. Other troubleshooting that was undergone was swapping of the HDD, using higher version Ubuntu Server, the version 9.04 LTS and also performing on a different machines. So basically, the partitioning of the HDD would not continue unless the RAM of the machine is in perfect condition without and errors or faults.

Other than that small bump, the server installation was successfull and we're set it up along with all the basic necessities of the Ubuntu Server packages such as MySQL, Samba, LAMP, Mail and OpenSSH. The powerfull APTITUDE service allowed us to fully upgrade the package database and we can safely say this server is good to go.

Another happy customer with a powerfull and reliable Ubuntu Server installed by the folks in Mega Computers.

Looking for a little help in diagnosing what is going on. I'm attempting to install Server 7.10 on what is a rebranded Dell PE 650. Box has the Sil 0680 Ethernet controller (Non Raid version) Hard drive is a new WD 500Gb EIDE drive. Box used to run FC6 and I was able to install FC7 as well. I would like to migrate this box to Server 7.10 but when I go to do the install, the machine always hangs at 33% when partitioning the HD. I am wiping the existing partitions and have tried both the guided (whole drive),LVM and manual method. Machine always hangs at 33% which is formatting / as ext3. I have left this run for an extended time but it always hangs at 33% and if left long enough (couple hours) it will come back with a error about being unable to complete partition or something (sorry I didn't write it down)E20-322 HP0-S18 642-373 70-293 I tried jumping to another shell, but the last message that shows up is about it formatting the swap. I'm trying 3 partitions, 1 for /boot at 250Mb, 1 for swap at 1Gb and the rest for /. Any thoughts on how to diagnose, or should I just grab a standard "non-server" CD and try it. I know the image/cd is fine as I was able to build a test vmware image without any issues.
