Installer Crashed

[Stuart Rocks]

We're sorry; the installer crashed. Please file a bug report at https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+filebug and a developer will attend to the problem as soon as possible. To help the developers understand what went wrong, include the following detail in your bug report, and attach the files /var/log/installer/syslog, /var/log/syslog, and /var/log/partman:

the "/var/installer/syslog" above is actually the required /var/log/installer/syslog file

I should probably mention my setup, too:

AMD Athlon XP 1800
NForce4 Chipset motherboard
768mb RAM
Geforce2 Onboard Graphics
Samsung DVDRW Drive

I had some trouble getting the dapper cd to boot too - I had to wait quite a while, maybe 15 minutes or so. The CD is fine tho - I tested it after writing and it copied perfectly.

Thanks for your report. You need to use a non-XFS / filesystem or create a non-XFS /boot filesystem; this is also bug 47848.
