(Get the code!)
My path to success:
I'm having this problem with an old-ish Dell Optiplex SX260.
To get around this, I booted from the standard Feisty live CD. At the boot menu I chose the option (the 3rd one?) that says to an install with an updated driver CD. When I was prompted to put in the driver CD, I just left the Feisty live CD in and hit enter. Then I was prompted for the Ubuntu live CD, and once again (with the live CD still in the drive) I just hit enter. This procedure got me to the live CD's Gnome desktop.
The first time I clicked on the "Install" icon on the desktop, the manual partition editor hung on me. I killed it from the command-line, and repeated the process. This second time I had no problem with partitioning. I've completed the install, and booted the newly installed Feisty from the hard drive, and everything seems to work fine!
