Additional information to initial report: (All 3 install attempts were clean installs)

Attempted installation of 11.04 alpha 3 was to an already created test partition (sda2) which I initially install 11.04 alpha 2 (and other past distros as well). During install of alpha 3 I chose to specify partitions manually and pointed the alpha 3 install to sda2, mounted as "/" and formatted as ext4. The installer (Ubiquity) crashed in the same place during 3 different install attempts; approx. half-way through "Installing system" after all files were copied and all packages were downloaded.

The first install attempt was set to download upgrades and install 3rd party software and not to transfer any data from the 2 other distros I have installed on the same hard drive. Installer crashed.

The 2nd and 3rd install attempt was set to not download any upgrades but to install 3rd party software and to not transfer any data from my other OSs. These are the same settings as I used when I successfully installed alpha 2. Installer crashed the same way each attempt as well.
