Bug Description

I don't know--didn't see any error number.

I've been trying to install any current version on a new MacMini OSX 10.8 machine. Only success has been U 12.04 under Parallels. 14.04 under Paralells completes, but the task bar never appears.. Same for both 64 bit versions.

Now in this case, I'm trying to install under VirtualBox. Both 64-bit versions crash, near completion.

Segmentation faults are typical when you have bad ram. Please run the memtest option from the boot menu for at least 15 minutes to test for this.
