Hello David,

It's great that you are making a video about the installer!

The problem here is probably caused by the "free-parted" procedure
returning before all the partitions are properly created by the kernel.

You could maybe try to run a custom installer image with the hideous
attached patch to confirm this theory.

Thanks,

Mathieu
