I just did what I've said earlier: I started the installation of Ubuntu Gutsy Tribe-5 on my laptop. The 5% stop with mount.ntfs happened again, with the same solution. So in my case the problem is repeatable.
And now for something completely different... ;-) I noticed that the current installer is stubborn and doesn't want to install over an empty, existing ext3 partition (I just did 'rm -rf *' there) and insists on formatting it, as well as swap partition (sic!). Having partitions in /etc/fstab mounted via UUID= (which is changed upon reformat) means to me that I am forced to manually edit all fstab files in other Linux systems I have on this machine. Sigh... Plus, in the 'Edit partition' popup the partitioner doesn't allow a simple 'Advanced' button to specify additional options for mounting a partition - like PCLOS or SUSE have for example. Just the filesystem size, type and mount point, rest are plain defaults. I can work around it and I know how, but...
