The person who set up my computer initially made one small mistake - hda is set in the BIOS in LBA mode, while hdc (an identical drive) is in CHS mode. Grub does not like this and won't successfully load the second-stage boot manager from a partition on hdb.

I was able to complete the installation from the 'alternate' install CD and a small root partition on hda. I'm not sure if this problem caused the Ubuquity crash, but it might be related.

Thanks for your report. This is another incarnation of bug 54163, and as such should be fixed in Edgy.
