Bug Description
Binary package hint: ubiquity
I just downloaded the Marrch 15th snapshot of the Hardy DVD. When booting into OEM-mode, the installer freezes when clicking "next" in the first configuration screen (Choose locale).
See attachments (screenshot and log messages). Apparently the problem has something to do with ubiquity trying to write to a file under directory "/target/" before it exists.

I also tried to perform an OEM-installation using the alternative CD for latest Hardy alpha. The OEM-installation went fine, but when the system restarted and the oem-configurator was run, it freezed again on the "Choose Language" screen. Rebooting the computer and trying different languages does not help. Se a view of the freezed System Configurator in the attachment.
