Installation of Hoary array 4 going wrong

[Ari Torhamo]

Hi,

I've been trying to install Hoary (array 4) from a CD for several times
now, but the installation always stops to an error message before it
gets finnished. Packages seem to get installed normally and I get past
the point where I'm asked my name and password. I'm not sure if the
system is about to enter the log-in phase or starting to download
software, but I get the following errormessage:

*Ubuntu base system configuration*
There was a problem installing the selected software
One or more packages faild to install...

Then I'm taken to Aptitude and told that I might do something there to
make things better (which I can't :) When I quit Aptitude, I'm brought
to the command line. I tried "startx", but got the message "no such
command". I was able to do "shutdown -h now" though.

I downloaded the iso-image twice (got same checksum for both), first
with Bittorrent and then as a normal download. I also burned the image
twice on different discs, so this shouldn't be a media or download
problem.

I didn't find a similar case in bugzilla. What might be the best way to
diagnose the problem. I might try installing once again and take notes
of what's on the screen right before the errormessage (I missed it last
time). BTW, live CD worked fine for me.
