Bug Description

Looks like installer is done with packages and is rounding up for the finish. Then it crashes.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/ubiquity", line 130, in ?
    install(sys.argv[1])
  File "/usr/bin/ubiquity", line 55, in install

Thanks for your report. Due to some reliability problems with GRUB and XFS, you need to use a non-XFS root filesystem or create a non-XFS /boot filesystem. Bug 47848 is filed to note that the partitioner should warn you about this up-front.

(You didn't attach /var/log/installer/syslog, so this is partly a guess, but I think a plausible one from the other logs. If this isn't the case, please attach /var/log/installer/syslog and un-duplicate this bug.)
