Comment 7 for bug 77966

I don't know what ubiquity version is included with Kubuntu Hardy 08.04. But yesterday I experienced this exact same problem with a clean install of the Kubuntu DVD version on a 5 GB partition. The installer crashed with a "no space left on device" when it was about two-thirds on the way. After that KDE was started, and after a reboot my system had become unbootable, and I had to make use of a rescue disk to start boot to a Mandriva harddisk installation and then had to reinstall GRUB from there. Quite a severe bug I would say...
