Title:
  on automatic installation the installer crashes. Installation was done
  using a Hardy LTS server with an image of current jaunty installation
  cd bootet over the network.

Status in grub-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  Package ubiquity 1.12.12 on ubuntu 9.04 Live
  Progress:
  Install current Jaunty installation disk to an PXE+TFTP enabled server (in this case Ubuntu Hardy LTS)
  Booting a Live environment on this on PC to install ubuntu jaunty. Launching "ubiquity --desktop %k gtk_ui" from desktop link app.
  I have done partitioning before on the shell (/boot - ext2, / - ext4 (test), /home - ext3)
  selected the beforementioned partitions to use manually. Not formatted by Ubuntu, since I want to maintain labels on these filesystems.
  All filesystems  reside on an fake-raid raid0 (intel ich10r - installed dmraid on live env - ubiquity finds every /dev/mapper/ device!)
  -> select logon -> confirm install to MBR 

  ubiquity breaks at about 90% when installing GRUB (that's the last line I saw)
  the last lines of /var/log/syslog are attached.

  Perhaps this is a little exotic hardware/configuration (newest laptop [Asus W90Vp - MultiBoot Ubuntu-Gentoo-WinVista - All 64Bit]).
  I will now do the rest manually. If you need further logs/debug environments, I may be able to provide such.
