Brandon,
Would you mind trying again from the current daily alternate ISO, and
skipping the step of copying the hd-media kernel & initrd.gz? The remaining
issue sounds like bug #291670 , which is believed to resolved for the case
where usb-creator is used directly on the alternate ISO, with no additional
changes.

Bug description:
I have attempted a USB stick install for an lpia system (Dell Mini9) using the
Jaunty lpia alternate install CD following the Manual Procedure detailed here:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick#Manual%20Approach
I also tried the procedure describe in this forum post:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4404569
In both cases, I used the vmlinuz and initrd.gz files found here:
http://ports.ubuntu.com/dists/jaunty/main/installer-lpia/beta/images/hd-media/
When I boot from the USB stick and start the installer, it enters a recursive
loop of failing attempts to detect hard drives. Each time it tries, it gets to
about 95% and then the progress bar disappears for a few seconds before the
detection process starts again.
