Thanks. I think I figured out how to apply your workaround. Ubiquity does not fully support preseeding. So I created a stick with the iso of alternate cd 10.10, put your script as "nuke-old-lvm.sh" into /cdrom/preseed and appended the d-i line in file "ubuntu.seed".
But it did not make a difference - parted still freezes.
I checked out the iso-images from Lucid to Natty (daily) and also Ubuntu netbook 10.10, but was not able to install any of them on the SSD of an Asus EeePC 901. Good luck it's not my netbook :-p
