[Bug 896477] Re: kubuntu installer crashes 11.10

[Bradley Allen]

after this failed install, i have since not been able to recover my
windows vista, at all.  i have very important files on this, ie, my
son's soccer game videos that cannot be replaced.

right now the RAID5 array status at bios boot time is "Verify"  and
that has me worried.  until some solution comes along i consider the
bug to be a showstopper

Title:
  kubuntu installer crashes 11.10

Status in “debian-installer” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  had identical installer crash 4 times today from downloaded kubuntu
  64b amd iso file over the past 2 days Nov 24/25 2011

  downloaded iso image from ubuntu website, created disc, installed with
  a windows vista and now  windows xp install.  from bootup of cd
  selected the first default choice, chose to create a partition,
  default and then it installed.  plenty of disk space available, 300G
  drive, it made a 117G partition? for linux

  in the process the error message said to write a bug report.  tried
  searching for a similar bug, the only one said installer crashes
  because of insufficient disk space.  all this said was sorry the
  installer crashed, no useful information and something about writing a
  bug report here.  so far its running well enough to load firefox and
  come here

  if there is an installation file that has relevant info please advise
