What I gather so far is: The problem I had with the hdd was some kind of infinite-loop-of-extended-partitions, which could be a potential memory-leak. If I disconnect the hdd or attach another one, everything works fine. I also note that the UBCD 5.1.1 comes with PartedMagic 6.6, with the 3.0 kernel, and that the UBCD 5.0.1 has the earlier 4.1 version of PartedMagic with the 2.6.32.11 kernel. This is probably (?) the important difference.
I do realize that this is most likely a problem with PartedMagic, and not the UBCD per se, and I will head up-stream if none of you guys have anything to ad.
I don't actually need any help with this, i'm just writing to notify you guys of a potential problem. Thanks for an amazing tool! Keep up the good work!
