I tried to reproduce Jerry's problem testing Kubuntu i386 20070415 on the same 
hardware I described previously. I was unable to do so. Here's what I did:
The disk already had an existing install of Kubuntu feisty on it using the 
whole of /dev/sda1. Simpler than Jerry's set up but still something on there.
Selected manual partitioning.
Click on sda1, edit partition
Set partition size to 9.6GB (on a 20GB drive)
sda1 was correctly resized

Clicked on the newly created free space.
Clicked New partition /dev/sda3, created as a primary partition.
Set mount point as /
Set sda3 to be reformatted but sda1 to be left alone
Proceeded with installation on sda3.
All of this went without a hitch. Both installs now boot and run just fine. I 
can supply logs if required but there doesn't seem to be anything useful in 
them. I will try and test this further tomorrow. Maybe try and create a more 
realistic test case
