Installer Crash - Ubuntu 12.04 Alpha

[Marcus Dean Adams]

I was installing Ubuntu 12.04 Alpha in a virtual machine using VirtualBox version 4.1.8 with a host OS of Debian Linux 6 (64 bit). The installer seemed to be functioning perfectly fine until almost the end when I was informed it crashed. I downloaded the ISO on 22 December 2011 and used the Desktop CD ISO to install from.

Here's a screenshot, in case something in it gives you an idea about what it should have been doing when it crashed.
