Public bug reported:

With a fully preseeded configuration, including automated partition via
a custom recipe, the installer attempts to proceed through the
partitioning too fast resulting in transient errors being presented to
the user such as the following:

====8<========================================================>8=====

Could not stat device /dev/mapper/vg0-home - No such file or directory.

ERROR!!!
                                Retry
                                Cancel

        <Go Back>

====8<========================================================>8=====

The specific device it errors on tends to vary.  Sometimes it errors on
mutliples, sometimes only one. In every case, simply selecting Retry
works.

Perhaps the partitioning process should attempt to sync out device
changes and/or wait for changes made to settle in.

I've been able to reproduce this issue quite reliably using a virtual
machine with a 40G drive and the attached seed file.  The installs have
been a seeded oem-config.
