Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Reviewing your log files attached to this bug report it seems that there is a problem with your installation media (CD/DVD) or with your hardware. Please retry your installation with new media and if it still fails I'd recommend testing your memory. In the event that is is not in fact an error with your installation media or hardware please set the bug's status back to New. Thanks and good luck!

Upon further consideration we'd actually like a new bug report if you still have troubles with the installer after resolving this hardware error so I am setting this bug report to Invalid. Thanks for your understanding.
