Karmic beta installer fails on loading partioner

[C.H.E.W.S.]

I decided to try and install the karmic beta to test it from a hard disk. Everything was going fine till it got to the screen where it gives me the install information. When I clicked forward the installer crashes and does nothing. I tried both a blank single drive and wiping my intrepid hard disk on my jaunty/ intrepid dual boot and both failed.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately we can't start working on it yet, because your description didn't include enough information.

Please include the information requested at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingUbiquity/AttachingLogs as separate attachments by visiting your bug's web page. Thanks in advance.

It might also help if you can give more information about where the crash occurred. After all, there are a lot of screens that give 'install information'.

I would also help if you told us something about the computer you are installing on.

Thanks

I am using two hard drives, 2gb ddr 1 dual channel memory, amd athlon
xp 1800+, creative sound blaster Audigy 2 sound card, I can't remember
the video card or mother board. The installer just disappeared right
were it would normally begin to wipe the hard disk. The screen I was
referring to was the on that listed all the options you had selected
so you could double check that it is correct. Once I clicked next for
it to install it just went away. So no data was lost. Would this have
logged the failure any ware because I can easily reproduce it.

I found out the a work around. If you boot to live cd mode and remove the ubiquity slide show using synaptic pm it works fine.
