Bug Description
Binary package hint: debian-installer
I am not sure which package is the affected one, but since it affects the install of the server, I am opening against d-i. I started experiencing this last week at around Dec 23/24th.
Repeated with ISOs from Dec 24th to Dec 27th.
I experienced it under both a bare-metal install and a libvirt install (under Natty), both under preseeded and manual installs.
Installation proceeds nicely until we get to the point of installing the base system. Then, suddenly, I see a "rebooting" message flash on the screen, and system does indeed reboot. Since there is no kernel installed, at this point, the system hangs.
I am marking this as critical -- no tests can be performed.
I am unsure on how to collect data here, since the installer logs are lost.
LAST ISO TESTED: 20101230. reboot happens on 'extracting libpcreg...'

I can conirm this issue using both the Ubuntu and Xubuntu Alternate i386 and amd64 images for Natty. The reboot on those happens as a full reboot, leaving me at the startup screeen, "choose a language".
