Bug Description
I'm testing an Ubuntu GNOME Utopic 20140826 i386 image and after selecting Something else and creating two partitions on a blank 80 GB (primary / about 77500mb and logical swap about 2500mb) shortly after the installation begins it freezes with the bottom of the window saying, "Creating ext4 filesystem for / in partition #1 of SCSI2 (0,0,0) (sda) ...........".
I've repeated this twice just in case the first attempt was a fluke, and the first time I waited well over an hour. I'm filing this report with the installer seemingly still attempting to run. I'd gladly repeat the test choosing to kill the installation before filing if I knew how.
I'm attaching an actual screenshot of what the screen displays while frozen.
