Bug Description

After running off the CD for a few hours, playing with the system, I tried to install to disk. It finished copying files, and failed somewhere after that.

Traceback:
  File "/usr/bin/ubiquity", line 130, in ?
    install(sys.argv[1])
  File "/usr/bin/ubiquity", line 55, in install
    ret = wizard.run()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ubiquity/frontend/gtkui.py", line 264, in run
    self.progress_loop()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ubiquity/frontend/gtkui.py", line 538, in progress_loop
    raise RuntimeError, ("Install failed with exit code %s; see "
RuntimeError: Install failed with exit code 1; see /var/log/installer/syslog and /var/log/syslog

Thanks for your report. This is also bug 47859, and can be worked around by not installing the following packages that seem to be the source of the error in the live session before running the installer.

(from /var/log/installer/syslog)
Errors were encountered while processing:
linux-image-k7
linux-restricted-modules-2.6.15-23-k7
