I definitely have a false positive with my main drive (Hitachi), but
something else just occurred to me - when I tried install Karmic from
the live CD, it refused to recognize my Hitachi drive as a viable target
for installation. In the end, I was forced to upgrade from Intrepid to
Jaunty to Karmic using the dist upgrade option in synaptic.

I only discovered the false positive issue with palimpsest AFTER I had
upgraded to Karmic through synaptic, so in retrospect, I wander if some
sort of integrity check is done on the drive before the Karmic CD
installer lists it prior to partitioning, and whether this false
positive issue actually prevented me from installing Karmic from the
live CD onto my Hitachi hard drive.

If that is true, perhaps an additional issue should be added to the list
for the Karmic live CD?
