Title:
  11.04 Desktop CD installation fails with a FreeBSD partition

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  The Desktop CD installation had been working fine on my machine past
  couple of years. But from 11.04, it fails to install Grub2
  successfully.

  When it tries to mount a FreeBSD partition, it fails (of course it
  can't mount a FreeBSD partition) and quits installation without
  finishing the installation, leaving the PC unbootable.

  If I inspect the root partition of the failed installation, /boot
  directory has not an initrd image nor grub subdirectory nor grub.cfg.

  I solved this problem by downloading the altenative CD, and it
  installs 11.04 without any problem. When it can't mount a FreeBSD
  partition, it just ignores it and proceeds to finish the installation.

  I do not know what has been changed in the 11.04 Desktop CD from 10.10
  or previous releases, but please fix this regression bug.

  Thanks.
