I'm currently on a live session of an Xubuntu 13.10 64-bit flash drive which I was attempting to install over my Ubuntu 14.04 partition and when it got to the installing grub2 portion it crashed and now I have a log I can provide.

The first time you boot into the system after installing it, it works fine. However, after you install your usual programs like Steam, Skype, smplayer, etc. and reboot the system will fail on such a grand catastrophic scale that you can't even boot into recovery mode since that will begin spamming error messages quickly as well. It isn't related to the kernel because I used the same kernel in Ubuntu 13.04. I also had the same problems with Ubuntu 13.10 (I'm not sure if that still applies but I will soon find out).
