... and it's repeatable starting from scratch with multiple wgets of the original lubuntu iso from cdimage.ubuntu.com.

expanding on comment#2, what seems to be happening is that the kernel packages are left in an incomplete installation state, so dpkg always exits with a non-zero code, and the installer sees the non-zero exit code and bails.

this is likely a symptom of bug #1317602 and will go away once that bug is fixed.
