Trying out today's maverick installer, 2.6.35-14-generic is much better,
only about 5 seconds per interface. Still takes a bit over a minute to
loop through all interfaces twice in the installer, but a minute and a
half is much better than the 20-30 minutes of karmic and lucid.

This is working marginally better with the 2.6.32-20 kernel, it cycles
through eth0-eth4 relatively quickly with a 2 second delay between them.
When it gets to eth5 though it pauses for 100 seconds between the
remaining ones. I've attached a screenshot of the detection times.

Hi Mattias,
This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in
it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try
with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are

If it remains an issue,
Of interest could be that the current Squeeze installer kernel is
significantly faster, by not having this 50 second timeout, but then
that is a fairly ancient 2.6.26-2 with other issues.
