[Bug 1809028] [NEW] installation_crash

[mn]

Public bug reported:

This was a re-installation of Ubuntu 18.04.1 on a system that was unstable with many restarts without pattern. The motherboard eventually died. It was replaced, moving all hardware to the new motherboard.
Then the reinstallation was being made from a LiveCD of the same Ubuntu flavour 18.04.1. I used the "something else" option for partitioning and went to chose my existing partitions on different hard disk drives and only reformatting the root partition for a clean install. My /home is in an independent partition already.
Then proceeded with confirmation of selections and then started partitioning and then the crash.
