Can confirm similar behaviour (complete machine lockup) with Xubuntu (i.e. Dapper) Daily May 18th.

Using Thinkpad X22 with Window 2000 Pro (fat32) and external USB CD/DVD drive.

'Live CD' boots and appears to run OK. Had problems with partioner - it would not resize partion (/dev/hda1).I dropped to command line and ran parted manually to resize partion. Copied/moved data OK and then locked up machine.

Since then everytime I attempt to enter the 'manuall edit partition table' stage of the installer I get the same (complete) lockup. This also happens on the command line with cfdisk and parted.

Windows still runs and sees the reduce partion size of 2GByte.

Using a different live CD (DSL based) I can happily run cfdisk to create/delete partions.
