There is no crash: Ubiquity - and the entire X session in which it is
running - "goes away". When I click forward in Step 4, the screen goes
black and that session never returns.

The machine works fine: I can traverse all ttys with ctrl-alt-f[1-9] (I
am typing this from my home session within #7- I boot, mount my home
partition, update /etc/passwd, etc., and run my normal session from the
LiveCD).

But when I use ctrl-alt-f9 to get to the session where the ubuntu user
and ubiquity were running, well, there's nothing there, just black.

According to ps, ubiquity is running, I just cannot see it.

Oh, that's interesting: As I write this, I am moving from tty to tty to
attempt to further debug the problem. As mentioned, if I ctrl-alt-f9, I
see black. I jiggle the mouse, hit shift, etc., nothing. But when I
ctrl-alt-f7 to get back to this session I see the ubiquity window
waiting for me in session 9, but of course I cannot use it at that
point.

So it is there, I just cannot get to it.

Note that the fact that I am running another session with disks mounted
is not part of the problem: The behavior I am seeing is consistent with
what happened the first time I ran the liveCD and attempted to install,
as originally described.

I've attached syslog, and other logs that seem relevant.
