Title:
  Hardy / Intrepid PPC Alternate CD installer usually hangs with
  'Partitioner' at 55%

Status in “debian-installer” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: debian-installer

  Configuration:
  PowerMac G4 MDD Dual 1GHz, 1GB RAM, ATI Radeon 9000 Pro (RV250) w/DVI and ADC

  When running install using Alternate CD (with duplicate CD in 2nd drive, as per prior bug report):
  - usually begins with repeating "... hde: drive not ready for command" message before entering the installer
  - proceeds normally as far as 'Starting up the partitioner', but then stalls at 55%

  On RANDOM, rare occasions the installer will get past this point. If
  it does, the install appears to proceed normally, but the resulting
  System is unusably slow.
