I have also been trying to install to a USB hard disk.

I succeeded by building a new initramfs at the end of the install, where:

1) I changed to MODULES=dep in /etc/mkinitramfs/initramfs.conf

2) in both /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hook-functions and
/usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/functions I increased the sleep value found,
in both cases, after the "Give the USB bus a moment to catch up" comment. I used
sleep 10, which works, but is probably a little conservative.
