Hello. Thanks for filing a bug. Could you please attach /var/log/syslog and /var/log/partman to this bug, by commenting on the bug's web page? That would help us better identify the cause of the problem. Thanks.

Further information:

Since this is a Live CD based installer you have likely lost the original log files when you turned off or rebooted the machine. In that case the only way to get the log files is to reproduced the install procedure (with the crash) and upload the files directly from the Live CD. Please let us know if you are able to do that at this stage.

To upload the files you need to run firefox from the Live CD session where the installer crashed, visit this bug page and click on 'Add a comment/attachment' at the bottom of the page. Click Browse and navigate to the requested files in /var/log.

Sorry about the delay, my computer wasn't working on vacation. I've attached the two files as requested. Thank you!

Sincerely
Jessica

Thanks for your report. You're using an Intel Mac, which isn't quite supported yet, but this will work properly in Feisty. This is also bug 46853.
