[Bug 1080701] Re: After 'Preparing to install Ubuntu' screen, raring installation hangs

[Lee Marshall]

For my machine, I checked dmesg and saw the raid6_pq module had crashed,
and its modprobe process was hanging unkillable (presumably what locks
up the installer).

I'd guess that ubiquity is loading this module, and it crashes when it
encounters something in the partitions it doesn't like, probably
involving block sizes or alignment - I wasn't using RAID, but I was
using a USB-SATA adaptor with a GPT disk label.

My successful workaround was to, in the live filesystem, delete/move the
raid6_pq.ko module file and then run the installer.

I'll add more details later, when I have access to the machine.
