Bug#364409: Partitioning failure during install of Sarge 3.1r2

["Scotland O. Clark" <soclark@sbcglobal.net>]

Package:  install
Version:  Sarge 3.1r2

Using 3.1r2 (and 3.1r1), when install is writing changes to the 
partition tables using ext3 the partitioning utility either locks the 
system up altogether or spontaneously reboots it.

System:  ECS P4M800PRO-M v1.0 motherboard
            1024MB Mushkin PC2700 memory
            Nvidia GeForce 2 video card
            2 WD800 80GB hard drives

The install proceeds normally until it gets to the partitioning, and the 
partitioning utility works properly until told to write the changes to 
the drives.

Any help you could render would be very welcome.

Thanks,

Scotland O. Clark
