Bug Description
On the Karmic Destop Beta live CD, while running the install Ubiquity crashed. After going through all the steps, it was on the last screen with the installation progress bar at 1% and the message that it was "Starting up the partitioner". The first time I tried this, both the main (/) partition and swap partition were selected to be formatted. On a second try, only the swap partition was selected to be formatted but both times the result was Ubiquity crashing.

I can confirm I have had the same problem.
Motherboard MS 6390
Chipset VIA KM266 and VT8233A/8235
I have installed the beta on one computer with no problems,
but this one, to be dual boot, I have had problems with Gparted, wanting to auto mount the partitions when I select them to delete or format them. It crashes Gparted when I unmount the partitions.
The drive has been partitioned, I am not sure if it has been formatted yet.
All further attempts crash on final install confirmation.
