Bug Description
Installation fails.
Image : ubuntu-
Installation options : select *French* langage, F4 -> minimal server
Manual partitioning selected.
Try to create an ext4 FS on existing partition.
Params = format partition, mount it as /boot
When selecting 'done with this partition', partman restarts and everything freezes.
Only way to restart is power switch or Ctrl-Alt-Supr that immediately reboots.
No visible error message.
Can be reproduced.
Freezes also if I remove all existing partitions first and recreate new ones.
Freezes as well if another mounting point is specified.
CD ROM has been checked (and is OK).
If I select ext3 FS, not problem at all, and installation proceeds smoothly (I didn't try other FS than ext4 and ext3).
And last but not least, if I select English as a langage, then I *can* create ext4 partitions without any trouble... and proceed.
Not sure it comes from partman, but since it freezes when it is used...
