Title:
  Install issues with network install with Ubuntu 14.10

Status in “parted” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  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.
