@Actiu: Do you get an error message like this?
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/38337359/install3.jpg - If not then I
think you are seeing a different problem. I have marked your bug 503848
as not-a-duplicate to prevent confusion.

@Jamin: Hmm, just as the SMART data said, the drive has no bad sectors.
(Side note: Old_Age just means that this value will be high when the
drive is old, and Pre-fail means that this value will increase when the
drive is failing.)

But this error (dmesg-install2.log) suggests that either the drive or the 
controller must be doing something wrong.

I don't get why ext3 does not trigger it, but this error is independent
of the filesystem. Faulty hardware of a ATA driver bug?
