I also get the problem under 9.04 installer 8.10 installer. Seems that my harddrive is not a common one.
For 8.10, I manipulated /lib/partman/init.d/35dump (removing the 2 lines of output in /tmp) and it worked fine. For 9.04, it was a bit more tricky! By the way, here is the steps I used to get ubuntu installed anyway. I thought it could help anybody getting out of problems... This solution is a tricky one, "use at your own risk blablabla" 1/ trap the partman: edit (as sudo) /bin/partman and /bin/partman-commit -> erase all content and remplace by "exit 0" 2/ make your partitions using gparted you need at least one ext2/3/4 fs 3/ simulate the job of partman One of the job of partman is mounting your target filesystem in /target So, let's do it: mkdir /target mount /dev/sda2 /target 4/ run ubiquity as normal It will complain after the keyboard selection layout, saying that you could destroy everything and disappear in a black hole if you continue, but continue anyway... 5/ generate your own fstab file in /target/etc/fstab 6/ Grub_update will fail (~97% of installation process) Grub will not find the necessary data, update it manually... cd /target chroot /target update-grub /dev/sda grub-install --root-directory=/target /dev/sda 7/ reboot 8/ when started: - use "janitor" to clean up install... - change keyboard option - add other os's into /boot/grub/menu.lst Well, now, if your followed all those instructions, and that you are lucky enough, you should get an up and running ubuntu!
