[Bug 896905] Re: Ubuntu installer crashes when "configuring apt" (near the end)

[sg4032]

I tried installing Ubuntu again using ext3 as file system instead of
ext2 on all partitions and it has succeeded this time.

This is the excerpt of the Syslog file where the installation stopped
with ext2:

Nov 27 16:38:09 ubuntu ubiquity: umount: /target/cdrom: not found
Nov 27 16:38:09 ubuntu plugininstall.py: log-output -t ubiquity umount /target/cdrom

Nov 27 16:38:11 ubuntu ubiquity: 
Nov 27 16:38:11 ubuntu plugininstall.py: Exception during installation:

That's the Syslog file with ext3:

Nov 28 14:04:07 ubuntu plugininstall.py: log-output -t ubiquity umount /target/cdrom

Nov 28 14:04:09 ubuntu ubiquity: 
Nov 28 14:04:12 ubuntu in-target: Reading package lists...

and it finishes successfully.
