I'm having similar problems with a Seagate AF drive. However, I learned
how to use GNU Parted and set up the partition such that it is aligned,
as described above by Maxime. The problem is that when I install Ubuntu
on it, the system doesn't install correctly and hangs at the splash
screen.
However, if I let Ubiquity make all the partitions, then they end up
misaligned, according to Ubuntu's disk utility (palimpsest) and GNU
Parted. So basically Ubiquity won't install on a correctly aligned
drive, and insists on misaligning the partitions it makes. Either GNU
Parted AND Disk Utility are buggy, or Ubiquity is buggy.
