Comment 17 for bug 726131

i'm getting this on an attempted install using the amd64 alternate install disc (on usb) for natty alpha 3. Did the released fix make that version? (It seems the dates are close; fix released 28 feb, alpha 3 iso image datestamped 1 mar :-)

machine has 5 sata hdds and a cf-in-ide; plan was to put /boot on the latter and / on a raid5 on the former; but i didn't get far enough to tell it that; it just hung up apparently trying to start partman. There were ongoing occasional noises from the hard drives as if it was still running some detection, but after several minutes with nothing further being logged on vc4 it seems dead to me. ps on vc2 shows similar to original bug poster.

Just going to try instead a maverick alternate and upgrade from there, but if this bug is in maverick's installer too I'll be back. :-)
