I experienced this as well. It took ages to do the "Starting the partition manager" or whatever it says, and I ended up closing it, killing all processes by it, and then starting it again. It did not quite work, and then I noticed that it kept complaining about /dev/sdd using a size of something of 2048. I then remembered I had my iPod plugged in. Unplugging it and restarting the installer helped me.
The installer did seem to have some problems though. I had to shut it down a few times and start it again as it kept hanging on the screen where I choose the language to use for the install. -- [hardy] alpha-3: i386 desktop cd - partition gui hangs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/183426 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
