I ran into the same thing last night when I tried to install 
Hoary on this laptop. Tried the installation twice with the same 
result.

Finally installed Warty, and then did an apt-get dist-uprade.

It took a while, but I finally have Hoary running on this HP 
Pavilion ze4510 with no obvious problems.

The only minor glitch on this machine actually is not related to 
the Hoary upgrade. I installed Thunderbird for e-mail and I 
cannot get the proper icon to display for it. I get an error to 
the fact that the icon file cannot be found. I can live with this 
minor inconvenience.
