I am trying to install Ubuntu Server 18.04 but I get stuck every time at the partitioning stage, in the "removing previous storage devices" process.
FYI, the installation has been tried using three different HDDs. In each HDD, Windows 7 was correctly installed after the Ubuntu Server failure (just for testing purposes), and the installation was tried with unpartitioned HDD and ext fs partition.
Just in case the attached screenshots are unavailable, here is a brief transcription of them:

is processed.

File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/curtin/block/zfs.py", line 207, in zpool.
_export raise ValueError("Invalid poolname: %s", poolname)
ValueError: ('Invalid poolname: %s', None)

Any ideas? Thanks

exists only in subiquity; the traditional d-i installer does not have this component. Moreover, in the traditional installer you can open a second virtual terminal and examine your disks, partitions etc. and set them manually.
