As I mentioned on the bug report, we may be facing more than one bug. We can only deal with one issue at a time, the easiest one to hit is does the new kernel stop the freeze when installation is completed. Joseph has said that the http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2162655&p=12735571#post12735571may well be a different bug. At this point, we do not have enough information. If the ISO works, that is one off the list of bugs. If, over time, we still have lockups then that may be a separate bug.
IMHO, until the error reported via sudo parted -l Is resolved, there is an issue. Regards, Phill.
