hangs if specific usb-drive is present

[Thomas Raffler]

Binary package hint: ubiquity

I tried to install the Gutsy Beta, but the installer hangs at (46% I think) setting up partition manager. No crash, but an installation is impossible.
After unconnecting my MP3-Player from the usb-port and a second try, installation went fine.

This was the partman log:
