What do you mean by:
> The failure causes varying degrees of system corruption, including
wiping out the entire USB system or even the entire kernel.
? Is there anything relevant in dmesg? /var/log/kern.log ?
What do you mean by:
> Should the system be left in a working state (following a reboot) the
driver installation cannot be re-attempted.
? Why can't it be re-attempted?
I suspect this bug may have been fixed by now. I suppose the only way
to check would be for you to install Raring from scratch.
** Summary changed:
