installer crash

[jrr]

Binary package hint: ubiquity

Installing from 32-bit 11.04 iso burned to disc. Installer crash told me to file a bug. It appears to be in the "checking for packages to remove..." stage. I have a little atom board with a pciE raid card (rr2340), but I'm installing to a disk on one of the motherboard's sata headers. Requested logs attached, but I'll hang on to all of /var/log in case there's anything else useful in there (just ask).
