Title:
  Install of 12.04 LTS over previous 12.04 LTS installer crashed

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  After having trouble with GRUB 2 not booting anything after installing 12.04, I decided to re-install 12.04.
  The installer said it had crashed and I should report a bug.
  One of the symptoms was that GRUB RESCUE was reporting an unrecognised filesystem that had booted fine just before the installation (I had checked that it booted my previous 8.04 system so that I knew I had a functioning backout if the 12.04 install should go wrong!).

  Make what you will of it, but I wouldn't waste too much time on it -
  I've already wasted plenty.

  How am I supposed to attach the requested files?
  Since you already know where they are, why can't you pick them up yourself?

  1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System -> About Ubuntu - 12.04 LTS
  2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy pkgname' or by checking in Software Center - Live DVD
  3) What you expected to happen - correct, functioning install
  4) What happened instead - installer crashed.
