Bug Description
Binary package hint: debian-installer
The installer of the alternate beta1 for lucid-lynx alway hung at 77% while detecting the partitions.
A look at alt-f4 showed me that parted_server segfaulted without any further hints.
This is reproducable when the only given disk already has a valid partition table like the following:
~# fdisk -l /dev/vg01/
Platte /dev/vg01/
255 Köpfe, 63 Sektoren/Spuren, 1044 Zylinder
Einheiten = Zylinder von 16065 × 512 = 8225280 Bytes
Disk identifier: 0x000ebfee
/dev/vg01/
Partition 1 endet nicht an einer Zylindergrenze.
/dev/vg01/
/dev/vg01/
After cleaning the disk with dd from /dev/zero the install proceeded.
The installation took place in a KVM virtual machine under karmic.
Unfortunately the installer is unable to create and mount the desired root-FS so it does not help that it proceeds after cleaning the disk :(

When installing from USB, the installer does not work. This happens with the desktop vesion, alternative and minimal.
Since CD does work well.
Sorry for my English
