The ksoftirqd/0 using 100% of one cpu core seems to be because of the cdrom unit (although it is empty) I'm installing lucid from a hard disks (created using unetbootin). I have tried installing again, this time disconnecting the cdrom unit, and now it works. Ubiquity stops for a while when scanning disks at 47%, but after few minutes it continues installation normally.
