Bug Description
Binary package hint: ubiquity
I have a fakeraid system and wanted to install intrepid on a extended partition on the fake-raid. To do this I
1. Booted up the intrepid desktop AMD64 live CD
2. installed "dmraid" and run "dmraid -r" to enable the raid devicce
3. run "gparted" and freed 20Gb storage at the end of the fakeraid by resizing a ntfs partition
4. used gparted to also create an extended partition : "/dev/mapper/
5. on this extended patition I created one 2Gb swap partition and an 18Gb ext3 partition
6. run ubiquity to install system using the swap partition and the 18Gb partition as "/" mountpoint
7. ran into the crash

Installing Intrepid using the alternate CD on the partitions made with gparted [on the live desktop CD since the alternate CD install can't shrink ntfs partitions] worked. So there seems to be a difference between the two install methods that make Ubiquity crash.
