You don't mention it explicitly, but since you say a "wizard page" opens
I assume that you're using the desktop installer.

Could you run the installer in debug mode ('ubiquity --debug' from the
command line, or 'debug-ubiquity' added to kernel parameters if you're
booting straight into the installer rather than to a full desktop) and
post /var/log/syslog and /var/log/installer/debug? Obviously, don't use
real usernames or passwords for this test.

Thanks,
