Thank you for your bug report, the team responsible for the installer's problems has been notified. If you have any further comments please feel free to leave them here.

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.

Hello there and thanks. The system is now working and the updates have been
downloaded as well.

Redards,

A.
