[Philipp Spitzer]

I think two problems get mixed here, therefore I opened a new bug report
#1010461 with describes one of it. A workaround is discussed in

Title:
  Ubuntu 12.04 beta2 installer fails when copying files

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  This bug was found on a generic 1.3GHz Celeron PC with 512MB RAM using
  an Ubuntu 12.04 beta CDR. It used to be my main PC - it worked OK then
  and worked with earlier releases of Ubuntu Linux.

  When installing this version of Linux, the installer comes to a halt
  with this message:-

  Installer failed.
  The installer encountered an unrecoverable error. A desktop session will now be run so that you may investigate the problem or try installing again.

  Story so far:-
  * Took 2 attempts to burn the CDR (1st disk was a cheap disk, 2nd was a Samsung disk).
  * 1st attempt to install got the above mentioned error message.
  * Rebooted and used the option to check the files on the CDR were OK. Test passed successfully.
  * Tried install - same result as the first attempt.
  * Rebooted & used the memtest86 option. Test passed successfully.
