ubuntu 9.04 beta : I've got the same problem.
I used manual partitioning, resized a fat32 partition, this gave me 2.1GB free.
I created an ext4 partition for / with this 2.1GB partition. No warning at this
step about the size of the partition.
At 87%, the installer disappears, leaving only the progress bar opened (87%).
2 processes are still runing and eating up CPU time (see below the first lines
of "top")
