additional information: This problem seems to only occur with manual partitioning selected. (the other methods produce an error of not being able to unmount the device part way through the installation of files)
I tried again with the 7/31 daily build for ubuntu desktop 386. Kernel is 2.6.25-5-686. drive is found and after 12 minutes(!) of reading can be partitioned. Is this related to the recent changes using UUID? Disk has gone through many linux installations including dapper without this type of problem.
