I may be narrowing this down a little bit. What the screen actually says
while frozen is; "Creating ext 4 file system for / in partition #13 of
...............".
Also it seems to effect only logical partitions so far but I need to
repeat a few tests to verify that.
If I quit the install and format the existing install/partition using
Gparted and then restart the install process it works OK.
It does however happen regardless of whether I start the installation
from the boot menu or from the live DE.
It does also effect Ubuntu GNOME Utopic 20140926 but the Beta 1 images
work OK.

Title:
Utopic ubiquity froze while reformatting existing partition
Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Attempting to install Ubuntu GNOME Utopic 20140923 i386 and I chose
Something else. From there I chose my partition sda13 marked format,
use as /, ext4, no size change. I waited for quite a while and there
was no progress, again no resizing was being done. The installer only
needed to format, create ext 4, and set the mount point. It appeared
that /var/log/installer/debug showed an error just respawning over and
over again.
