Title:
  Installer will not continue if external USB HDD is plugged in

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  In the Maverick Beta, installation is not possible when an external
  USB HDD is plugged in. The installer will get stuck at the screen that
  can be seen in the attached screenshot. Once the HDD is removed, the
  installation will continue.

  As many people have their USB HDD plugged in as they have made back-
  ups before starting the installation, I propose to set this to high
  priority.

  PS: I could not find any file "syslog"
