Bug Description
I had a partition made and formatted to ext4 with gparted, so it is not a problem because of reformatting.
I did not use OEM, so it should not be 'post-OEM', but maybe it is the same cause?
-o-
Isotesting: From the live session I tried 'something else' at the partitioning page, reused a shared swap partition, and used a partition made for this purpose, that was never used (only formatted). I had complaints, that the swap was on when it was not on. After re-trying, the installer could continue.
The target drive is a USB HDD dedicated to testing. There are already two linux distros installed: Xubuntu and Mageia, but it should work anyway.
I could enter language and user identification. The installation continued, but got stuck with a rotating round cursor at the text 'Identifying file system...' (in Swedish).

After writing the bug report, I tried to shut down the installer window. Then it responded with:
'The installation has finished...'. That info window was a little hard to shut down, but finally it went away. And then there was a good (normal) shutdown sequence. But no system was installed.
