The ringbuffer spew here from the XFS driver when we attempt to mount
something that's not an XFS partition is clearly a kernel bug, but
there's likely also something we can do to make the installer a bit more
robust in this situation.

Note that the "partition" spewing the errors doesn't even contain a
filesystem, it's the extended volume that then contains the extended
partitions (like /dev/sda5, which is NTFS, not XFS).

Title:
  Ubiquity is stuck after "Prepare" step

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I am using the Kubuntu Beta 2 Live CD to install it on my Sony Vaio
  SVS13A190X laptop. It has one SSD with GPT partition and uses UEFI.

  After the prepare step, the installer hangs, presumably because of an
  inability to read some partitions, going by the syslog (attached).

  There is no indication of error, the installer is just stuck with the
  "Wait" mouse pointer spinning. I have used the Kubuntu 13.04 in the
  past to install successfully on this laptop.
