Title:
  Kubuntu installer crashed when installing GRUB boot loader

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  Looks similar to #460901. I installed Kubuntu instead of an existing
  OpenSUSE 11.2 installation, telling the Kubuntu partitioner to format
  the OpenSUSE partitions and install Kubuntu there. There's also a
  Windows XP installation on the machine and I've used OpenSUSE 11.2 in
  dual-boot. Wanted Kubuntu instead, because a Kubuntu USB stick I got
  runs faster than the OpenSUSE installation.

  To start the Kubuntu CD, I had to use boot options noapic nolapic,
  instead of the silent splash.

  Traceback follows...

  Ola
