Title:
  [jaunty] Jaunty CD installation problem during harddisk partitioning

Status in “partman-base” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  I have tried to install Jaunty Alpha 4 from Desktop and Alternate CDs
  on a ThinkPad W500 containing a primary Windows Vista NTFS partition
  (/dev/sda1) and an extended partition (/dev/sda2) with swap
  (/dev/sda5), root (/dev/sda6) and home (/dev/sda7). After finishing
  partitioning, the installer on the Desktop CD simply restarts with
  keyboard configuration. No error message. Trying the Alternate CD,
  applying the disk partitioning fails on /dev/sda5. The installation
  program suggests a reboot for the kernel to use the updated partition
  table -> same problem after that. The problem even persists when
  configuring the partitioning program not to use the swap partition.

  On a console, I have found out that udev has re-created an entry for
  /dev/sda1, but not for the partitions in my extended partition (i.e.
  /dev/sda5, etc.. These entries have been deleted.).
