[Bug 807815] Re: installer crashed

[jeff3211]

Although upgrade log was not present, that was the option I selected
when I attempted the installation. Crash may have occurred too early to
create upgrade log. I had no idea what the progress of the installation
was. The drive on which the earlier installation was discovered was
added to this machine, this machine is a new build running a cloned
drive. The drive was taken from a 32 bit machine, this is a 64 bit
machine. The drive on which the linux OS resided is not the boot drive
on this machine, it is a secondary drive. No functional grub appeared on
this installation previous to this installation attempt. I did not
realize 9.04 resided on a secondary drive when I attempted the
installation, but I surmised it might be an easier installation since I
though no new partitioning would be necessary.

Title:
  installer crashed

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  installation attempt from USB of 11.04 onto a machine running WIN7.
  Installer reported existence of 9.04 on system and asked whether I
  wanted to upgrade to 11.04, install a clean OS with reformat and one
  other option I forgot. I chose to upgrade 9.04 to 11.04. Installation
  appeared to proceed with no difficulties, downloaded 30 files and
  installed them, removed incompatible files, and then downloaded
  language packs. Following language pack installation, hardware
  configuration was in progress when the installer crashed. This was the
  first attempt at the install, and I have two var/log files to upload
  for you
