Binary package hint: ubiquity

Hardware used: 450Mhz Celeron with 192mb RAM and 6,4 GB Seagate ATA hard drive (ST36531A, Firmware version 3.04)

Installation CD is ok, checked for defects

Steps to reproduce: run the Xubuntu live-CD installer, complete all steps. After the last step (7th), notice the installer hanging and locking the system up completely at 15% : "Detecting file systems". This happens regardless of the partition option chosen (Manual or guided). Both partitioning options work OK with the alternate install CD, and the live-CD installation worked OK, too, with Feisty herd 5 (guided install) on the same machine.

Logs: difficult to acquire, as the installer won't give any crash report. And running ubiquity from the terminal with or without "--debug"-switch is VERY slow (it takes about 30 minutes to get even to the partitioning step of the installer, where the installer seems to hang).

Other remarks and a possible cause: Live session desktop lacks both panels, which has usually been caused by insufficient amount of memory - 192 mb should officially be enough, but maybe it isn't, for some reason.
