Blue Screen w/ black bottom

[foxtrott]

Hi,
I had tried to install wubi on my laptop (fujitsu siemens amilo) but i have the bluescreen too after the first reboot.
So console mode > nano /var/log/syslog

I have an error at the level of the inode writing

the last lines of the log is:
date hour main-menu[4554]: (process:5665): 27/47
date hour main-menu[4554]: (proc

i tried to reinstall wubi or uninstall to reinstall it after, but i have always the same trouble.
Please help me!!!

Thanks

It is formatting the virtual disk. We have no visual feedback in that stage (no progressbar) but that is normal. Depending on the size of your virtual disk and disk speed, it can take anything from 1 minute to 30 minutes. So just let it run. More than 30 min would probably indicate that we did not include a driver for your particular HD (usually that happens with some more esoteric Sata drives) and disk I/O is suboptimal (read very, very slow), therefore formatting takes forever.

Ok, thanks for answering, i retry now and i come back

I've been trying to install and I'm getting a similar error:

"bio too big device loop6 (8>0) " with a time stamp of 21:54.

I finally stopped the install after 12 hours. Am I out of luck or is there something I might change to get the install going again?

Did you install on FAT? What size was assigned to the Virtuald disks? What size were actually the virtual disks? Do you have sata/raid?

PS you can also try to reinstall and remove home.virtual.disk before rebooting, that virtual disk is optional

My screen is always blue, since more 1 hour
My disk isn't a SATA.

I don't know what to do now

Try with small disk sizes.

Use 3-4 GB for system, 0.5 for home and 0.5 for swap.

See if that improves the situation.

[foxtrott]

is it normal that there is no activity on the disk when the virtual disk is formatting ??

Probably not but you can check what processes are running by pressing alt+f2 and executing:

ps -ax

[foxtrott]

ps -ax
many process and the last :
7821 root 1092 D mkfs.ext3 /dev/loop7

i think i'll give up.
