Bug Description
Dell Precision T5400, all firmware up-to-date.
2 x 250GB HDDs, combined into a single RAID0 (striped) volume using Intel onboard RAID.
(Note: the same system works fine if I attempt to install *without* the Intel RAID volume configured.)
Ubiquity gets very confused with the /dev/mapper entries when doing manual partitioning, usually - but not always! - displaying bogus p0/p1/p2/p5 entries.
Doesn't matter if the disks are zeroed beforehand or not, same results.
Regardless of which partitioning option is chosen (automatic, encrypt, lvm, manual) the installer advances to the tzsetup screen but displays a modal dialog box titled (literally) "??? ???" with the text "??? ???" in it, and the dialog cannot be dismissed.
Log files attached, syslog is longer and represents a full boot into the livecd environment and multiple ubiquity runs, the ubiquity logfiles and partman logfiles are from a single, minimal run that exhibits the problem.
I'd rank this problem as "critical", since it utterly prevents me from reinstalling Ubuntu on my primary workstation. There is no known workaround (yet).
I have tried pre-partitioning the disk and pre-formatting the partitions, that didn't make any difference. (In fact, ubiquity insists it's going to reformat them all anyway.)
