I'm removing the duplicate, the traces in syslog are not the same.

Please start the installer entirely afresh (i.e. reboot). Enter a live session ("Try Ubuntu"), start a terminal, and run 'ubiquity -d'. Let the installer run through until it fails. Before rebooting, I then need /var/log/syslog and /var/log/installer/debug from the failed installation - please attach them to this bug.

Just an FYI: The debug log file produced from running 'ubiquity -d' will include the password you used in plain text so don't use a password you would normally use. Just make it 'test' or something.

This bug was fixed in the package ubiquity - 2.5.31

---------------
ubiquity (2.5.31) natty; urgency=low

  * Put build-dependencies in the right place.
  * Add python-apt to the build-depends for the test harness.
  * Use the standard nocheck DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS argument instead of
    UBIQUITY_NO_TESTS. Thanks Steve Langasek!
  * Run the tests on all architectures.
  * Don't feed jockey's output into debconf (LP: #739632).
