iGadget (igadget) wrote : Partitioner crash in Flight 7 live

This might be a duplicate of 40594, but since none of the reporters in that bug run Flight 7, here's my report anyway:

When trying to install Flight 7 to the (already partitioned) harddrive using the live CD, the installer crashes when running the custom partitioner:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/ubiquity", line 112, in ?
    install(sys.argv[1])
  File "/usr/bin/ubiquity", line 52, in install
    ret = wizard.run()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ubiquity/frontend/gtkui.py", line 250, in run
    self.process_step()

    print >>self.gparted_subp.stdin, "apply"
IOError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe

System details:
-AMD XP 1700+ (running @ 1100+)
-MSI K7N420Pro mainboard (nForce chipset)
-1024MB ram
-hda: Maxtor 60GB PATA, previously partitioned like this:
hda1: 250MB ext3 (boot)
hda5: LVM with a root XFS partition (which had errors, which were corrected using the dapper live CD) and a swap partition.
All partitioned using Breezy installer.
Other hardware:
-3Ware Escalade 7500 RAID controller (the drive mentioned above is not connected to this controller)
-Intel Pro 1000 pci ethernet adapter

If more info on the system is needed, I'll happily submit it.
