[Bug 1185844] Re: DI fails at "Install the system"

[Michael DePaulo]

Also:

1. "Install the system" failed immediately after I selected to do a
normal install. Every additional time I ran it, it did the same.

2. I just re-ran the installer and it was completely successful.
The differences this time were that I selected "Command-line expert install" and that I did not download any installer components. I partitioned the disk with the same LVM settings.  I selected "Install the system" within 1 or 2 seconds after partitioning the disks succeeded (in case there was a timing issue with /dev/saucy-server-vg/ being detected.)

Title:
  DI fails at "Install the system"

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

Bug description:
  Setup:
  VirtualBox 4.2.12 on a Windows 7 64-bit SP1 host
  64-bit suacy "mini.iso" built on 2013-05-29

  The error message:
  "Installation step failed" under "Install the system".
  See attached logs for further info.

  What I did before it occurred:
  I purposely selected to do an expert install in order to learn how more about the installer.
  I setup LVM (see in log.)
  I chose to download a bunch of extra installer components, including the live installer and the SSH component.
  I had virtualbox switch me over from a private network to a bridge to my physical LAN after the installer setup the SSH component. I then reran "Configure the network" to get a new DHCP address.
  I chose to do a normal install under "install the system", not a live install.

  Other notes:
  The first time "Install the System" failed happened at 14:09 UTC. Any subsequent log entries were me retrying steps such as partition the disks and install the system (which failed every other time I ran it).
  As seen in one of the screenshots, /dev/saucy-server-vg/ does exist.
