Tried again on same computer, found something in /var/log/installer/debug. At the end of the file, it says:
30%: Getting the time from a network time server... 30%: Scanning disks... 30%: Detecting file systems... Unable to commit the partition table, exiting. Aha! Why would it be unable to commit the partition table? -- karmic beta: This computer has only 0 bytes disk space https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/444901 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
