Ubiquity crash when searching through the harddrives

[Tomas Gustavsson]

Binary package hint: ubiquity

I just went through the installation of Ubuntu Feisty Fawn (20060111.1) and when I came to the partitioning part it just searched through the harddrives for a while and then crashed with:

  File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/bin/ubiquity", line 185, in ?
    main()
  File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/bin/ubiquity", line 180, in main
    install(args[0])
  File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/bin/ubiquity", line 56, in install
    ret = wizard.run()
  File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/ubiquity/frontend/gtkui.py", line 310, in run
    self.process_step()
  File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/ubiquity/frontend/gtkui.py", line 867, in process_step

I'm having the same problem in the second prerelease (070112-amd64), with an Aspire 9420 (Core 2 Duo).

Same problem here with the i386 desktop install CD on an Fujitsu SIemens E8020 Lifebook. ISO image is the daily build from 2007-01-14

FYI: my partition setup:

NTFS ( NTFS <empty> ext3 ReiserFS swap )

the extended partition is marked with parenthesis. I wanted to install into the 2.5G free partition space that is not partitioned yet.
