Public bug reported: It just hangs on the "Preparing to install Ubuntu" screen. Nothing happens even after 5 minutes. I tried installing Ubuntu from CD and USB drive - no difference. I also tried passing nodmraid kernel option, also without success, and finally I tried installing it from Live CD and directly from "Install".
Here is what I found in the syslog: Mar 30 11:37:36 ubuntu partman: No matching physical volumes found Mar 30 11:37:36 ubuntu partman: Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while...
