[Bug 1361951] [NEW] Utopic installation freezes during partition creation

[Erick Brunzell]

Public bug reported:

I'm testing an Ubuntu GNOME Utopic 20140826 i386 image and after
selecting Something else and creating two partitions on a blank 80 GB
(primary / about 77500mb and logical swap about 2500mb) shortly after
the installation begins it freezes with the bottom of the window saying,
"Creating ext4 filesystem for / in partition #1 of SCSI2 (0,0,0) (sda)
...........".

I've repeated this twice just in case the first attempt was a fluke, and
the first time I waited well over an hour. I'm filing this report with
the installer seemingly still attempting to run. I'd gladly repeat the
test choosing to kill the installation before filing if I knew how.

I'm attaching an actual screenshot of what the screen displays while
frozen.
