Bug Description
Binary package hint: ubiquity
Installation (from live CD) chrashed after all selections were done and installation seemed to start.
However, changes between the screens (e.g. from from giving user name to partition set or the like) took ages.
The window sayed something like "Erasing possiblly conflicting (old) system files" (don't remeber correctly) for quite some time,
then the please-report-a-bug window appeared.
This happend also on a machine with the same hardware setup. Also an update from a previous version of kubuntu chrashes. For testing I installed Kubuntu 6.10 wich installed and worked without any problem.

I changed the file system from reiserfs as suggested in some answers/bug reports around /bugs.launchpad .net/ubuntu/ +source/ ubiquity/ +bug/445199 ).

First I tried ext2, which did not work. Then I used the "use whole disk" option, where ext4 is used
but the installer chrashed again. ( I would really love to have karmik koala on that machine :-( )
