This bug seems to be confirmed as there are other identical bug reports. I've attached the others to this report as it contains the log files as well.

Thanks Tim. Still, there are a lot of very similar bug reports [*]. I can hardly see whether they are exactly the same issue or a different one. Please, if you can identify duplicated bug reports, let me know them.

Also, please, next time, attach the log files by using "Add attachment" on the top-left menu. Now it is very hard to read the bug report. :-(

Please, nobody ever mark Ubiquity bug reports as duplicates, especially not ones with this particular traceback. *finishes untangling the mess*

Thanks for your report. You need to either use a non-XFS root filesystem, or create a non-XFS /boot filesystem. Bug 47848 is filed for the fact that the partitioner should have warned you about this.
