[Bug 974404] [NEW] installation of precise beta2 always fails

[John Johansen]

Public bug reported:

Installation of the precise amd64 beta image from a usb stick always
fails on my x120e, it has a windows partition so choose other for disk
partitioning is always chosen.

It always fails in the same places, immediately after clicking on
continue after creating the user account, or it will crash waiting for
the user account to be created if left long enough (hours).

I have tried setting the bios options to efi only, legacy first, and
legacy only.  Single partition (only /), multi-partion (/ and /home),
downloading updates, not downloading updates, network enabled, network
disabled, have all been tried during separate installs.

I have gone back and successfully installed from the oneiric amd64
image, and upgraded to precise, so this is a regretion since Oneiric.

Other things to note, if left long enough (watched from top) ubiquity
has consumed all 6GB of memory after it has stopped responding.
