Public bug reported: Binary package hint: ubiquity
Tried installing feisty fawn herd2 (desktop version) Manual partitioning: deleted partition and created reiserfs partition for root fs. When leaving gparted, installer tried mounting all other partitions, but had trouble with permissions (auto-mounting partitions gave errors). In next step, installer insisted on mount points for remaining partitions (/media/sda5 etc.). Step 7/advanced: selected (hd0,2) for boot loader (is a primary swap partition, worked for dapper/edgy). Installation started and terminated at 74% (while 'copying files'). The installer terminated with the following output: We're sorry; the installer crashed.
