Hardy has reached end of life, have you had this happen with 12.04+?

Title:
  Hardy Installer: 'Attempt to mount a file system with type swap...'
  fails

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  Using the Hardy desktop live CD installer (x86) results in the
  message:

  "The attempt to mount a file system with type swap in LVM VG raid1, LV
  swap at none failed"

  Surely it shouldn't try to mount a swap partition?

  The system is configured with four 61GB PATA disks (sda, sdb, sdc,
  sdd). Each is configured identically from a terminal in the Live CD
  environment:

  /dev/sdX1 3,256MB, Linux raid autodetect (fd)
  /dev/sdX2, remainder, Linux raid autodetect (fd)

  mdadm is used to create two arrays:

  /dev/md0, RAID-1, sda1, sdb1 sdc1, sdd1
  /dev/md1, RAID-5, sda2, sdb2, sdc2, sdd2

  cryptsetup is used to encrypt /dev/md1 to /dev/mapper/encrypted01

  LVM is used to create two physical volumes and volume groups:

  VG raid1 on /dev/md0
  VG raid5 on /dev/mapper/encrypted01

  LVM is used to create five logical volumes:

  /dev/mapper/raid1-boot on /dev/raid1/boot in VG raid1, size 256MB
  /dev/mapper/raid1-swap on /dev/raid1/swap in VG raid1, size 3GB
  /dev/mapper/raid5-root on /dev/raid5/root in VG raid5, size 18GB
  /dev/mapper/raid5-var on /dev/raid5/var in VG raid5, size 10GB
  /dev/mapper/raid5-home on /dev/raid5/home in VG raid5, size 110GB

  33GB in VG raid5 is unallocated.

  Using Manual partitioning each logical volume is partitioned with a
  single primary partition and the appropriate file-system and mount-
  point is set.

  When the installer beings formatting the disks, it stops with the
  message above and then returns to the partitioning menu of the
  installer.

  I thought this might be related to bug #126328 "swap volume fails to
  mount" but that is marked as Fix Released. The issue may be caused by
  partman but it occurs in the context of the installer, thus I've
  assigned it to ubiquity until it has been triaged (Colin Watson
  probably knows this issue best).

  It could also be related to bug #44609 " RAID not implemented (use
  alternate CD instead)"
