I have the same thing here - running the command from within a gnome
terminal. If i go to a text terminal (with ctrl-alt-F6) and run the
command sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart then it works perfectly. Probably
it can't kill itself.
How can i 'detach' this command from gnome so it can finish
I installed the recommended ATI video driver and would get a watermark
hardware not supported. Despite everything working (compiz) you can
imagine i was not really happy. In an attempt to have the watermark
removed i followed instructions to install the newest ATI driver
Tried it with my updated Ubuntu 8.10 and it works fine.

This worked for me, in addition to previous posts I like to add point 4:
1. (re)insert usb stick, it will be mounted automatically
2. unmount it
sudo umount /dev/sdb1
3. .. so we can format it
sudo mkfs -t vfat /dev/sdb1
4. make sure you dont have any ISO's mounted that are too
