[Bug 1016903] [NEW] newer installer (ubuntu12 & mint13) crashes on high number partitions

[Jim McKenney]

Public bug reported:

I am attempting to install Ubuntu 12 and Mint 13 on an old Compaq
Presario 2100.  After many crashes with Mint, I installed Mint over
Ubuntu 12.  Now I am getting the same crash trying to install Ubuntu 12
on partitions 11 and 12.  Also on a previous try the Ubuntu 12 installer
demanded that I unmount sda6 and crashed over the fact that I could not
unmount a drive I never mounted.
