NOTE:
1. This error has been repoterd on various hardwares as per this forum thrade http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=102969&p=584247&hilit=maya+installer+crash#p584247
2. I have tested this on x86 machine, however, this error has been reported on x64 machines as well.
3. This error apparently occurs only with cinnamon edition, not with MATE edition.
4. This error occures when installation is initiated by booting live USB normaly (default mode). If booted to compatibility mode the installation goes on smoothly. The problem however is that although the installation is complete, such system will only boot in recovery mode. the Xserver will fail to start with error msg "Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration."
5. This error occured on my Lenovo Thinkpad SL410K 2842-K5C laptop. But when i used the same live USB on my eMachine 355-121G, the installation went smoothly without any interruption. I have installed Ubuntu 12.04 on same lenovo laptop a month ago without any error as well.
