Title:
  hangs if specific usb-drive is present

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  I tried to install the Gutsy Beta, but the installer hangs at (46% I think) setting up partition manager. No crash, but an installation is impossible.
  After unconnecting my MP3-Player from the usb-port and a second try, installation went fine.

  This was the partman log:
