Bug Description
Binary package hint: ubiquity
Attempted to install Eeebuntu 4.0 beta 1 from a USB stick made with unetbootin, on an Asus Eee PC 1005HA-M.
The Live OS loaded normally.
Told Ubiquity that I wanted to manually indicate what to do with the partition table.
Subsequently told it not to format anything (except the swap partition).
Told it to install the bootloader on (hd0).
Told it "OK, go ahead, no turning back, let's do this."
It made its way 80+ percent into the install (I don't know the exact number).
Then it crashed, with <first error message>, shown below.
Upon re-running Ubiquity, it auto-loaded the answers I had already given. When I clicked "next" at the end of the 'choose keyboard layout' step, Ubiquity did not crash, but showed the failure message <second error message>, shown below. It let me choose from Continue At Your Own Risk (or something like that), Try Again, and Quit. Repeated clicking on Try Again repeated the failure. I broke off the installation attempt.
<first error message>
