Hi,

I am sorry I am unavailable to test right now, and not having a machine with multiboot
available to test in the same conditions. I just have a thought to share: the install
option "something else", if I don't mistake, is the one dedicated to (so called) experts,
the manual partitioning and setup. I think this is a very important option of the
installer and should not be neglected. If something goes wrong there, it could be nice to
wait that someone else can test and check what's going on there.

Just saying. If you think it is a minor bug, while having a swap shared between
distros, just go ahead with gray. :)

Best regards,
Mélodie

PS: Nio, just an idea, what about trying again, but after you reformat your swap
partition anew? (Just in case that swap could be corrupted, which can sometimes
happen).
