  /dev/sdd3            1307        2765    11719417+  82  Linux swap / Solaris

  Steps:
  1) Booted from Ubuntu 10.10 amd64 USB startup disk.
  2) Used apt-get to install lvm2 package
  3) Used Disk Utility to remove lvm lv, pv, vg from /dev/sdc and created /dev/sdc1 as reported above
  4) Started Install from desktop icon
  5) Proceeded with manual partitioning, then user accounts etc...
  6) Left it doing it's thing for about an hour
  7) came back to an error dialogue "Install crashed" and instructions to file this bug.
