Bug Description

The installer crashed when I was at 95-96%, it was configuring the hardware I think.
 I really don't know what the problem is, please help me.
I attached the asked files:

Could you please attach all of /var/log/installer/syslog, /var/log/syslog, and /var/log/partman to this bug, rather than just the beginning of each file? Use the "Add Attachment" link on the bug's web page. Thanks in advance.

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. The fact that the partitioner doesn't warn you about this up-front is also bug 47848, and is fixed in Edgy.
