Bug Description
Trying to install Ubuntu 5.10:
With a brand new 200GB disk, creating the file system (doesn't matter which file system) always make the installer hang.
Cannot even switch to a console or toggle caps lock LED.
I have successfully installed both XP and Debian stable (3.2) on the disk, however Debian testing has the same problem!
Something must have changed in the partitioner part of the installer that breaks it.
I'm using a brand new Maxtor DiamondMax10 disk, Intel Celeron 2200 MHz, ASUS Digimatrix motherboard.

I started the installer with maximum debug output and was able to switch to console 4 before the hang occurs.
However, I cannot see anything strange going on here:
--> PROGRESS SET 15 basicfilesystem s/progress_ formatting_ mountable STATE writing per-group metadata.
<-- 0 OK
--> SUBST partman-
That's the last thing that gets printed out before the total freeze.
