Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubiquity

New installation fails with the syslog entry

May 29 10:06:06 ubuntu ubiquity[12068]: raise InstallStepError("HwDetect failed with code %d" % ret)
May 29 10:06:06 ubuntu ubiquity[12068]: InstallStepError: HwDetect failed with code 10

I tried many times with different setting for partitioning, don't know which hardware could cause trouble, but ubuiquity should not crash here.

Result: installation impossible! (though karmic and lucid have been running on this computer before - no problem!)
