Problem description:
====================

Trying to install Ubuntu 14.10 on this machine.  I encounter two types
of problems during the install.  Both instances take place during the
:"Starting up the partitioner" step of the install.  In both cases the
machine crashes or appears to hang.

In the first case I have seen this:  (Sorry for the unformatted lines)

When I had swapped out disks and tried again by loading Ubuntu 14.04
successfully and then retrying 14.10 I see this (and it appears to hang
here)

The disk size is 600GB and the System also has CAPI-enabled Corsa
adapters installed.

I used the following procedure to do the install process (from Mike
Hollinger)

wget http://ausgsa.ibm.com/~mchollin/public/surelock/scripts/sapphire_ubuntu_14.10_install.sh
chmod +x sapphire_ubuntu_14.10_install.sh
./sapphire_ubuntu_14.10_install.sh

Other machines in the lab have been successfully installed.
