[Bug 950282] Re: Installation failing with pop-up "The installer encountered an unrecoverable error and will now reboot."

[Jean-Baptiste Lallement]

I was able to reproduce systematically until Ubuntu Desktop build
20120313 (same hardware, booted from usb with persistence). But today's
build 20120314 doesn't crash with this segfault any more. ubiquity
greeter and ubiquity launched from the command line works fine)

I also upgraded every package from B1 (which worked fine) to today's
version and no crash.

Christopher, Mario or anyone else affected by this defect, could you try
latest daily build (http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/) and
tell if you can still reproduce this bug.

Thanks in advance.

Bug description:
  Running a build of Precise, I'm encountering a failure during the very
  early stages of installation.  I get a pop-up saying "The installer
  encountered an unrecoverable erro and will now reboot."

  It seems to occur when the following is present in syslog:
  Mar  8 20:30:10 ubuntu kernel: [   41.113727] pool[9204]: segfault at 17 ip 00007f022e402bfe sp 00007f0216355a20 error 6 in libc-2.15.so[7f022e2d9000+1b1000]

  Note that this is a preseeded installation.

  I'm unable to use apport to collect info because it tell tells me
  "This is not an official Ubuntu package..." and exits.

  I have attached the syslog.
