I was doing a custom install with separate disk partitions for /boot, /home and /. I repeated the install with the /boot partition size 192MB instead of 40MB and the install successfully completed.
I presume the original install attempt failed due to /boot being too small. It is a pity the install wasn't more informative about what it was doing when it failed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/989346 Title: Ubuntu 12.04 install crashes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/989346/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
