I'm installing 14 Ubuntu 12.10 amd64 servers in an IBM Bladecenter.. I'm having trouble getting past the partitioner step with the preseed file I made.

I think I'm having a problem here boot-root :: \ 40000 50 41000 ext4 \ $primary{ } $bootable{ } \ method{ format } format{ } \ use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext4 } \ mountpoint{ / } \ . \ 500 10000 1000000000 ext4 \ method{ format } format{ } \ use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext4 } \ mountpoint{ /local } \ . \ 32000 512 33000 linux-swap \ method{ swap } format{ } \ .

Appreciate the help.

boot-root :: 40000 50 41000 ext4

Try using ext3 instead of ext4 there.

You don't actually give the error you encounter, but I'm fairly sure the fourth entry corresponds to the partition ID, not the filesystem.
