Bug Description
Binary package hint: ubiquity
I'm filing this bug report because this is occurring in today's daily snapshot (2009-08-27).
This failure causes update-grub to be missed, resulting in a bricked machine.
There is no /var/log/installer directory. Neither faillog or dpkg.log show any useful data.
I've setup to install from USB now, so I can test .iso files every day.
If there's a packaging patch someone desires me to try, then do a reinstall, I can.
I'll leave this machine as an iso test machine till the problem is resolved.

This reinstall worked with no errors and machine is still bricked - black screen on boot.
