I just get this from time to time with daily images.  Another user
reported the same issue on IRC yesterday.  This is really annoying and
definitely a regression from lenny.

It happens with SD cards, USB stick and SATA disks... it doesn't
happen all the time, but quite frequently.

I didn't see anything wrong in /var/log/syslog or dmesg.  I'll try to
save those log files next time I run into this issue.

In fact, all of the options (including "Cancel" and "Go Back") simply
go ahead.
