Title:
  installer crashes at 'hardware configuration'

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  When reaching the  'hardware configuration' stage, installer crashes. 
  I tried installing many times with different installation options - ie: install bootloader as do not install bootloader - I always get a crash at this time.

  Data below is the result of a simple installation accepting all defaults (bootloader on hd0, no package statistic), using a single '/' partition and not mounting any other existing partition.
  Installation language is 'french'.

  root at ubuntu:~# lsb_release -rd
