Title:
  Install always crashes for 14.04 LTS of any Ubuntu type

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  No real idea, just the start of install, Mythbuntu, Ubuntu, Lubuntu
  have all crashed for 14.04 LTS and 64 bit, I've been trying to install
  for weeks. All versions are bad. 32 bit stuff works, 12.04 LTS 32 or
  64 bit works, 14.04 LTS 64 Bit doesn't. Sometimes it's just the grub
  that won't install (doesn't seem to be on the install DVD or it's in
  the wrong place), other times it's before that, but it always crashes.
  Hmm, haven't tried text mode install yet, guess that's next.
