[Bug 561426] [NEW] partman dies when trying to detect disks due to kernel error

[Oliver Grawert]

Public bug reported:

Trying to run the installer (doesnt matter if d-i or ubiquity) the
kernel spits out an unhandled fault error when trying to detect disk
drives:

Apr 12 11:18:47 main-menu[208]: INFO: Menu item 'partman-base' selected
Apr 12 11:18:48 kernel: [  556.388214] Unhandled fault: external abort on non-linefetch (0x1018) at 0x40200000
Apr 12 11:18:48 main-menu[208]: (process:7234): Bus error

after an IRC conversation it was suggested it might be caused by turned
off clocks:

<ogra> amitk, cjwatson suggests its misaligned memory access
<amitk> ogra: I am almost sure it has to do with clocks being turned off during module access
