The first thing might be to see if it is replicable -- can you install Karmic Alpha 4 on another machine and check whether you get the same issue? If not, then either it relates to the current install you have, or to the hardware you installed it on. If you can duplicate it, document *exactly* how you are doing the install process, what you are choosing at every step of the way, so that others can follow your documented steps and reproduce this.

Until someone other than you can duplicate the issue, it is unlikely we'll be able to provide an explanation (or even hints) as to why it is happening. So far, it has happened exactly one on one install on one piece of hardware... we need to determine if that was "just a one off", or if there is a reproduceable issue here.
