Public bug reported:

Test case type: Ubuntu Feisty X86, Desktop CD. Installation from the
LiveCD.

Image ID:  http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/20070111/

Dowloaded and burned:  feisty-desktop-i386.iso

Date of testing: 11.jan.2007

Md5sum confirmed:  Yes, confirmed twice: Checked MDSUM on the command
line before burning the CD and checked it also in the LiveCD's start
screen.  Md5sum was Ok.

Pass/Fail:  2 bad install failures.
-----------------------------------------

Error 1) The display got badly scrambled during installation from
LiveCD.

Launched the LiveCD and started installation from "Install" icon on the deskop.
Moved on and 
Selected keyboard layout "Norwegian".
Then clicked the "Forward>" button.

The entire screen got badly scrambled with white and brown lines. The
screen was completly unreadable.

I discovered that if I pressed CNTR + ALT + F1 (text console mode) and
back to the graphical GUI with ALT + F7 then the display was updated and
it was then perfectly OK.  And I could continue to the next step of
installation.

The LiveCD had set the screen resolution to: 1024x768 (60Hz). That's Ok.

Note:  This very same error happened in Feisty Test 1 CD (some months ago).
------------------------------------------------------------

Error 2)  The partitioner crashed at startup.
I continued the installation and  "Starting up the partitioer" dialog appeared.
See picture 2a: http://www.futuredesktop.org/feisty-2/Install_error2a.png 

It seemd to work a minute or two and then it throwed an error message. 
See  picture 2b: http://www.futuredesktop.org/feisty-2/Install_error2b.png

And then it replied: (see picture 2c):
http://www.futuredesktop.org/feisty-2/Install_error2c.png

I have earlier installed several Ubuntu 6.06 / 6.10 and other Linux-
distributions on my /dev/sda and /dev/sdb drives. Those has always
worked flawlessly.

Here is my partitions table:

What is the best way to debug the Error 1)
Am very able to hack the Linux and install machinery. Just give me a starting 
point !
