It seems that gen-crypt, used to set the shadow entry for the installer user, is segfaulting when run. Attempts to SSH in because the installer environment's encrypted password field was blank. itops@snowman-0:/var/log/installer$ sudo grep -B 4 -A 10 -i gen-crypt syslog Apr 13 18:40:40 main-menu[324]: INFO: Falling back to the package description for brltty-udeb Apr 13 18:40:40 main-menu[324]: INFO: Falling back to the package description for mdcfg Apr 13 18:40:43 main-menu[324]: INFO: Falling back to the package description for brltty-udeb Apr 13 18:40:43 main-menu[324]: INFO: Menu item 'network-console' selected Apr 13 18:40:52 kernel: [ 196.753006] gen-crypt[3532]: segfault at fffffffff7bf0260 ip 00007fddf7dc3436 sp 00007fffa186b5d8 error 5 in libc.so.6[7fddf7d4d000+148000] Apr 13 18:40:52 kernel: [ 196.753012] Code: 0f 1f 40 00 66 0f ef c0 66 0f ef c9 66 0f ef d2 66 0f ef db 48 89 f8 48 89 f9 48 81 e1 ff 0f 00 00 48 81 f9 cf 0f 00 00 77 6a <f3> 0f 6f 20 66 0f 74 e0 66 0f d7 d4 85 d2 74 04 0f bc c2 c3 48 83 Apr 13 18:40:52 sshd[3541]: Server listening on 0.0.0.0 port 22.

(Many thanks to whoever came up with the idea of running the installer under screen. It's awesome!) Please feel free to let me know if any additional details are needed. Thanks! - Aaron
