I'm stalled in the ubuntu installer. About five screens into the 
installation I get a "Starting up the Partitioner" status bar. The 
status bar immediately climbs to 46% then is stuck there. These are two 
brand-new 160 GB hard disk drives - I don't think I have enough 
information to know if one of them is bad. I did the integrity check on 
the installation CD - it's fine.

Any other ideas?
