Comment 18 for bug 99908

Jerry, could you attach /var/log/syslog and /var/log/partman from after the failure, please? (I don't need a --debug log in this case.)

Richard's problems do look consistently like either CD read errors or out-of-memory conditions; the logs are certainly not clean of other errors caused by this. Jerry has plenty of memory. Richard's tests are also with automatic partitioning, while Jerry's are with manual partitioning. It's not clear to me that the problems are the same. I have also not seen the same problem with the manual partitioner in any of my tests, so it must be hardware-specific or a race.
