Install the System step failed in Ubuntu Server

[warren]

1. Ubuntu 13.04 Raring daily image 20130316 (Mail-Server Testcase) VirtualBox 4.2
2. I assume the package in question is the Debian installer
3. I expected the Ubuntu server to be installed with a completed Mail-server Testcase.
4. The mail-server testcase was going fine until step 19 when it failed to Install the System.
The installer gave me option to redo the Install the system this failed also.
 Two attempts were made to install the Mail-server into VirtualBox both attempts failed with same reason failed to Install the system.
 I attached a screenshot of the installation error which reads:
 "Unable to install the selected kernel"
An error was returned while trying to install the kernel into the target system.
Kernel pakage: 'linux-generic'.
Check /var/log/syslog or see virtual console 4 for the details.

Could you provide us with /var/log/syslog of the failed install? Thanks in advance.

I had deleted the previous Ubuntu Server installation. I recreated the
installation on a different computer using VirtualBox. After the install
failed I get the shell retrieved /var/log/syslog info which is in the
screenshot.

There is not enought of /var/log/syslog present for me to determine what is going on. If you can't attach the whole file how about using tail -n30 or something that will fill the whole screen.

tail -n 30 /var/log/syslog screenshot attached

I tried recreating this using an ubuntu server daily image from 20130415.1 and was unable to, are you still having this issue? Thanks in advance!

[warren (wkclemmons)]

I tried the daily image 20130415.1 also no problems.

[Brian Murray (brian-murray)]

I'm setting this to Invalid as we don't know what the exact fix was so Fix Released is inappropriate.

[Délawen (delawen+launchpad)]

I had the same error with newly downloaded ubuntu 12.04 server install image on a virtual machine. I don't know how to copy the text from the vm, but you can find the error attached as an image.

I am using 64 bits of virtual machine with 1 GB of disk storage, all default settings. The virtual machine used is KVM.

ubuntu 14.04.5的iso，安装在SCSI总线的磁盘上，会出现上述问题，且必现
复现是在虚拟机环境下复现的，提供参考
