[Bug 806784] Re: Oneiric installer crash: not enough space to unpack kernel headers, different size needed for btrfs

[Dunkirk]

Uh... nevermind. As soon as it installed 3.0.0 on the new version, it
blew up just like before. I'm concluding that btrfs on Ubuntu is
considered harmful.

There's two hours I'll never get back.

Bug description:
  Installer crash while running through ISO test case "Desktop Manual
  Partitioning (Ubiquity)"
  http://testcases.qa.ubuntu.com/Install/DesktopManual with image
  http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/daily-live/20110705/oneiric-
  desktop-i386.iso.

  I had enough free disk space, was plugged in to a power source, and was *not* connected to the Internet.
  I selected manual partitioning, removed 6000 MB from the last partition, and created a new partition formatted with btrfs and mounted at "/".
  I chose time zone Canada/Central and keyboard English (US)/English (US).
  The progress dialog reached "Installing system 64%", then threw up the "Installer crashed" dialog.
