Just thinking out loud while you're waiting for others to chime in..
Is this something you could try pre-formatting before starting the
installation then skip that step during installation?
Or did you already try that?
That's all I got.. It's just what I would try if I was in your Shoes.
If you end up filing a bug report on it, you could then suggest from
personal experience that pre-formatting does or does not help (well,
did not help *you*) under those circumstances in case anyone else
encounters the same before a permanent fix is found.
Even if that work-around was to work (if a user was in a hurry to
istall), determining (and then hopefully fixing) the cause of freezing
up during any installation step helps keep newcomers from running off
down the cyber highway to another distro. :)
