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

[Steve Langasek]

Christopher,

Jean-Baptiste indicated he was no longer able to reproduce this with the
daily CDs.  Can you please test the Ubuntu daily livecd, so we can rule
out some delta there, or some bugfix landed on the daily CD that's not
yet included in your project?

There don't seem to be other reports of this issue on other hardware, so
it's best if we can get direct access to a machine where this is
reproducible.

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.
