Here's what seems to reproduce it for me on Ubuntu Server: 13.04 Server Variant, 64-bit PowerEdge R620 with a 840GB Hardware RAID 5
I'm trying to do a clean install of 13.04 Server on a system that currently has Fedora 18 installed. The disk layout on the Fedora system is as follows: /dev/sda1 /boot 500M /dev/sda2 lvm-physical volume, 836GB 1 Volume group created from the pv above 3 Logical Volumes (50GB, 780GB, 4GB for /, /home, and swap respectively) The server installation works fine until we get to the partitioning stage. At that point, I see the progress bar that says "Starting up the Partitioner". That finishes just fine. What I expect to see next, however, is the partitioning screen asking me how I want to partition my disk. Instead, all I see is a blank, purple screen that seems to sit there indefinitely. The only way I've been able to get around this is if I wipe the disks out before installing OR if the system has a simple partitioning scheme (i.e. no LVM, etc.) things work as expected. I'm attaching the partman log and the syslog from a system that is currently reproducing my problem. Hopefully it helps. The last thing in the syslog before the installer gets stuck is this: Apr 19 17:25:57 kernel: [ 319.912392] SGI XFS with ACLs, security attributes, realtime, large block/inode numbers, no debug enabled Apr 19 17:25:58 md-devices: mdadm: No arrays found in config file or automatically Apr 19 17:25:58 partman: PV /dev/sda2 VG fedora_dhcp-163-166 lvm2 [836.11 GiB / 0 free] Apr 19 17:25:58 partman: Total: 1 [836.11 GiB] / in use: 1 [836.11 GiB] / in no VG: 0 [0 ] Apr 19 17:25:58 partman: Reading all physical volumes.
