The following errors can be found in UbiquitySyslog.txt which was
automatically attached to this bug report:

Apr  7 14:09:06 ubuntu kernel: [   21.749278] SQUASHFS error: zlib decompression failed, data probably corrupt
Apr  7 14:09:06 ubuntu kernel: [   21.749281] SQUASHFS error: squashfs_read_data failed to read block 0x37b3011d

It's possible you have a bad write to your media. If you're still having
problems please try the option to check the integrity of the image from
the installer boot menu, and if this confirms that the media is corrupt,
try re-writing or re-downloading it.
