It's mounting the partitions to determine what operating system is on them, so it can generate the human readable names in the grub menu, like "Windows XP Professional" and "Ubuntu 7.04". I imagine this is a bug in os-prober or grub-installer, but I'll need log files from a failing install attempt to be sure. Can you please run the install again in debug mode (`ubiquity --debug` from a terminal) and attach /var/log/syslog, /var/log/installer/debug, and the output of `ps auxf` to this bug report when it starts to hang?
