[Bug 742503] Re: Installer hangs because of an existing EFI Partition

[TheGhost]

I don't have a EFI partition anymore, so I can't test it on newer releases. 
If it is finally working under 11.10 / 12.04, it's fine. :)

  Installer hangs because of an existing EFI Partition

  My Netbook uses a small EFI Partition for faster boot up. Seems like
  the installer has problems with unknown partitions.

  1. Expected Behaviour: Start Installer select your language, press
  next, select the installtions options (update, erase, ...).

  2. Behaviour Instead:  The installer in Natty stucks after selecting
  your language and pressing next button. Normally the new installations
  options would be shown

  After deleting the EFI partition (via gparted in live boot), the
  installation works.
