In addition to my previous post: Install using the alternate CD succeeded. Changed the second hard disk (hdb) though after that as Feisty could not find the /home directory which was on that disk.
On the new hdb same problem until I installed (with the alternate CD) this HD, keeping the other partitions on hda, and breaking off the install, which gave a number of complaints, but now everything runs OK (so far). Now /home is found, which makes me think the previous hdb was dying. Booting the Live CD again, after this, gives the same problems, however.... so it is not the possibly dying previous hdb-disk which was the cause, though the bug may be related to the *existence* of a second hard disk (???). Off topic: due to the misspelling of Feisty (Fiesty) in the heading this bug report was difficult to find.
