Title:
  Expert mode installation fails with error

Status in debian-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  1) Start 15.04 installation (as a Power KBM guest) using daily ISO (Jan 11)
  2) Append priority=low option during installation
  3) On partitioning disk panel select  - Separate /home, /usr, /var, and /tmp partitions - option
  4) Continue with the installation.

  Installation fails with following message :

                    Configuring linux-image-3.18.0-8-generic

                      Unable to install the selected kernel                
        An error was returned while trying to install the kernel into the  
        target system.                                                     
       
        Kernel package: 'linux-generic'.                                   
       
        Check /var/log/syslog or see virtual console 4 for the details.    
       
                                    <Continue>                             
       
       
  I have attached following files captured after the failure.

  Nope. The partitions and their size was suggested by the installer.
  These are the default suggested values.
