I'd love to help but don't understand where your problem is. The
installer's partitioner does more than just partition disks.
Do you use expert install? If so, what messages do you see on VC4?
One can hardly spend time diagnosing every possible error that might
have occurred, or try to imagine every trick that you might have read
about somewhere. Besides, you may have hardware or firmware that I
know nothing about!
Cheers,
