I could not attach /var/log/partman, as it did not exist. I have been testing a bit and have found that having my usb stick plugged in before booting seems to be the trigger of the crash.
The crash only occurs when the usb stick is set as the first boot device, but the system is actually booted from the livecd. BTW, the stick is in this case also not visible as a device in the live system, until it is unplugged and plugged back in. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/700043 Title: Install crashes before partitioning (10.10 already installed) -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
