Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubiquity

I was trying to install Ubuntu 9.10 from this DVD image http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/releases/9.10/release/ubuntu-9.10-dvd-amd64.iso

My hard drive is split to two partitions, /dev/sda1 is mounted as /home and /dev/sda5 is mounted as root.
I had previously installed ubuntu. I have made a fresg install of the on /dev/sda5 without formatting and with option "Install boot loader".

Everything went fine until the last message about removing dvd from the tray and pressing enter to reboot.

After reboot I was observing blank screen for some time and then a message appeared
"chroot: cannot execute /etc/apparmor/initramfs: exec format error"
and that's all.

When I brought up grub's menu, I've seen old kernels which were present in previously installing system.

Karmic 32bit has successfully installed this way.
Unfortunately, I cannot attach any log files, because this is my working computer and I had to install an operating system and return to my duties.
