Title:
  Installer crashed when installing to external HD

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  I tried installing chrunchbang to my 1tb Verbatim Acclaim external hd. I formated it in ubuntu creating an 8gb ext4 partition (that I used as /), a 4 Gb swap and the remainder was fat. the installer crashed while it was actual installing (a bit after 1/3 of the bar was full).
  here's the info it spat out:
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/bin/ubiquity", line 232, in <module>
      main()
    File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/bin/ubiquity", line 227, in main
      install(args[0])
    File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/bin/ubiquity", line 68, in install
      ret = wizard.run()
