[Brian Murray]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.  Reviewing your log files attached to this bug report it
seems that there is a problem with your installation media (CD/DVD) or
with your hardware.  Please retry your installation with new media and
if it still fails I'd recommend testing your memory.  In the event that
is is not in fact an error with your installation media or hardware
please set the bug's status back to New.  Thanks and good luck!

Title:
  installer crashes at 'hardware configuration'

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

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
