Lars it would appear you have found a clear distinction that makes since on
some of the issues. In my original bug filing I did not clearly state I
also was doing an "Alternate Install (Guided)" when I got the failure I
basically stopped testing the alternate after the crash. Instead you
started with the alternate entire drive installs. Perhaps that will help
narrow the scope on the fix.
