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

@cjwatson: The bug is gone if I install a precise pangolin system
instead, with the same specs otherwise (i.e. as a KVM virtual machine,
same partition layout, same filesystem sizes and types, etc.). Precise
installs just fine, no problems at all.

My guess is that it is a problem with the kernel package that oneiric
wants to upgrade to.

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.
