I started the install from Live USB with: 'ubiquity --debug' (and why
doesn't tail -f /var/log/installer/debug show me anything? Using tail

@Shan Anand, your workaround didn't work for me :(
What I did:
1. boot from USB to Live image
2. Open Terminal
3. run command 'ps -ela'
4. find rsyslogd
5. run command: 'sudo kill ' (PID of rsyslogd)
But rsyslogd starting again in a moment with another PID.
If I run 'sudo rsyslogd -c5 -i
here is what exactly is did...
1) USB boot to Test mode (Not the install mode). ( i used unetbootin to write
Ubuntu daily ISO to USB).
2) i started the install - it hangs before disk selection mode
3) i quit the install
4) open the terminal, and 'ps -ef | grep -i rsyslogd'
5) sudo su -
