Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: debian-installer

1. Install Fedora 10 (It will create two partitions, one for /boot and another 
for the LVM volume which includes two logical volumes, one for the root 
filesystem and  another for the swap).
2. Download linux and initrd.gz from 
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/jaunty/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/gtk/ubuntu-installer/amd64/
 (Done on 8th March 2009 around 8:00 UTC)
3. Boot the machine with the Ubuntu kernel and initrd.
4. Start the installation and select 'guided partition' using the whole disk 
and LVM.
5. Wait for ever (I give up after 15 minutes).

The log says:

[...]
partman: Found volume group "VolGroup00" using metadata type lvm2
partman-lvm: 2 logical volume(s) in volume group "VolGroup00"
partman-lvm: Can't remove open logical volume "LogVol00"
partman-lvm: Can't remove open logical volume "LogVol01"
partman-lvm: 0 logical volume(s) in volume group "VolGroup00" now active

Pressing Ctrl+C in the installer, the partitioner is launched again, but
it stalls at 52% of its initial progress bar and I need to reboot and
start again.


The only solution I found was to remove the LVM partiton manually and reboot, 
so the installer doesn't find the old LVM volume.
