According to Brian, this is when using home preservation over an 8.04.2 system.

I used home preservation from a Jaunty i386 live usb stick, the same stick actually, without any problems.

Brian,
I believe this is a duplicate of bug 461698. Could you please try to reproduce this with the final 9.10 image?

Thanks!

[Brian Murray (brian-murray)]

I actually don't have that system available anymore.

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS crashes when I'm trying to install it. The partition I'm trying to use is not formated by Windows or any other operating system. So what's the deal here?!?!?!

[Charlie Kravetz (cjkgeek)]

Thank you. Unfortunately, when trying to resolve issues with the installer packages, there is a lot of information required. Please file a new bug report, and include the information requested at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingUbiquity/AttachingLogs as separate attachments by visiting your bug's web page. As an alternate, you can file a new report using "ubuntu-bug ubiquity" in a terminal. Thanks in advance.
