[Bug 448316] Re: Live install step "Prepare partitions" hangs on 9.10-beta 64bits

[Brian Murray]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.  Reviewing your log files attached to this bug report it
seems that there is a problem with your installation media (CD/DVD).
Please retry your installation with new media and if it still fails I'd
recommend testing your CD drive with other media.  In the event that is
is not in fact an error with your installation media please set the
bug's status back to New.  Thanks and good luck!

Title:
  Live install step "Prepare partitions" hangs on 9.10-beta 64bits

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  Installation fails on my system  when first booting via the Live CD
  and choosing install. The "Install" window captioned "Prepare
  partitions" shows an empty device list, with all buttons greyed out
  (all partition related plus Forward and Back, but Quit works) while
  the mousepointer does her clock animation.

  Reproducable on hardware;
  - Core i7, Shuttle SX58H7 motherboard, SSD (Kingston SSDNow V Series 64GB) via SATA2

  Notes;
  - Reproducible on this system.
  - Previously various 32 bits Jaunty releases installed successful. (same hardware)
  - I have not (yet) tried the text-mode installer.
  - I saw no HDD/SSD's partitions mounted.
  - I have Windows 7 Pro installed on 50% of the SSD, rest is unused/unpartitioned.

  As requested some attachments;
  /var/log/syslog is attached, for
  /var/log/partman see below.
