Title:
  Ubiquity quits at Hardware detect

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Install fails during hardware detect.  I've run the installer a number
  of times and curiously sometimes, not often, it's successful.  I
  haven't worked out why.  Sometimes it freezes and requires rebooting.
  Sometimes it drops to the Live CD GDM, others it drops to LiveCD
  login.  It looks to me to be a different problem from #350320.  Now
  I'm wondering if it's the same as #342157

  I've attached /var/log/syslog

  I was guessing that the problem is with pulseaudio, which has never
  been happy with my soundcard (M-Audio 2496), but I really have no
  idea.  Then I successfully installed just now after detaching a USB
  printer.

  Ubuntu Jaunty beta AMD64

  I later found this in the syslog for the failed install:

  Apr  1 09:45:53 ubuntu python:   File "/usr/share/ubiquity/install.py", line 1336, in configure_hardware
  Apr  1 09:45:53 ubuntu python:     raise InstallStepError("HwDetect failed with code %d" % ret)
  Apr  1 09:45:53 ubuntu python: InstallStepError: HwDetect failed with code 141
