[Bug 1256085] Re: installer crashes on rescue

[teledyn]

I have come to agree -- on trying to reinstall, the failures
progressed to a complete grub-rescue prompt with no available options
other than ls -- I'm sourcing a new drive

Title:
  installer crashes on rescue

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  crash says it cannot remove installation files and gives no option to
  ignore or proceed, but considers the error fatal, the only option is
  to accept the message; received the same message once or twice more
  and then the apport crash reporting.

  part of the bug report asks if I want to include the install log but
  cautions that my PASSWORD will be in it!!!  Is someone smoking crack?
  My password is kept in CLEAR TEXT in a log file??  Isn't that just a
  bit insane?  er ... I mean ... how did this sensitive security
  information manage to be included in an installation log?  That alone
  is a bit of a bug, no?
