Everytime I try to install the system, ubuntu-installer crashes with the message above.

I tried it three times, but installation is not possible.

Thanks for your support.

Thanks for your report. This is also bug 46764, and should at the very least explode less spectacularly in the final Dapper release. As a workaround, use a non-XFS root filesystem, or create a non-XFS /boot filesystem; grub doesn't cope reliably with being installed to XFS on many systems.

closing instead of "fix released" as it was marked as a dupe, nothing changed though ;)
