edgy installation fails on msi-7101 with i865 chipset and IDE drive

[Alexandre Otto Strube]

Installation runs fine until 81%; Then it breaks with the following message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/ubiquity", line 132, in ?
    install(sys.argv[1])
  File "/usr/bin/ubiquity", line 57, in install
    ret = wizard.run()
  File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/ubiquity/frontend/gtkui.py", line 264, in run
    self.progress_loop()
  File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/ubiquity/frontend/gtkui.py", line 545, in progress_loop
    raise RuntimeError, ("Install failed with exit code %s\n%s" %
RuntimeError: Install failed with exit code 1
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/ubiquity/install.py", line 1284, in ?
    install.run()
  File "/usr/share/ubiquity/install.py", line 307, in run
    self.umount_source()
  File "/usr/share/ubiquity/install.py", line 575, in umount_source
    raise InstallStepError("Failed to unmount source device")
InstallStepError: <unprintable instance object>

I chose to use the remaining disk space (there was a /dev/sda5 swap partition). The machine has 512mb ram. I'm attaching the syslogs.

Could you please attach /var/log/installer/syslog, /var/log/syslog, and /var/log/partman to this bug, using the "Add Attachment" link on the bug's web page? Thanks in advance.

This is also bug 55019, which I've fixed; but the edgy live filesystems haven't built for a while due to other problems. I hope those will be sorted out soon.
