Bug Description
Attempting to install Kubuntu 6.06 LTS onto the hard disk.
On a 6 GB disk, I created a 5.7 GB xfs partition for "/", and the remainder of the space was for swap.
After all the files are copied, during the "Configuring boot loader..." step, it crashes (at 96%).
Installing with auto partitioning (which uses ext3 instead of xfs) works normally.
Here is the crash log:
Traceback (most recent call last):

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 dapper-updates.
