I ran into this bug as well, running Ubuntu Lucid Beta 1 from an USB stick. After the crash I restarted my computer, and I got to a GRUB prompt saying a file was missing. I then reinstalled the Lucid Beta 1 Live CD image onto my USB stick, this time reserving 4 GB of extra space on it, to enable me to update the entire system before trying to install again. So I booted from the USB stick again, updated the system via Update Manager, then I ran the installation program again (and chose to update this as well), and everything went fine from here, no crash.
