[Bug 1162267] [NEW] installation crashed (4th time in a row)

[andreas]

Public bug reported:

after three failed installation attempts, I had removed all partitions from the hdd now and gave it the fourth try.
Again, installer crashed when almost ready, after installation program displayed "grub-install /dev /sda" and "update-grub".
Then, as the other three times before, it says (German language) "Entschuldigung, der Installer ist abgestürzt" (roughly: "sorry, installer has crashed").
Since there is neither software nor partition present on the disk when installation is run, the problem must be hardware-related.
I've successfully performed a self-test of the install DVD. 
W7 and W8 were able to install on the same hardware.
Any hints are highly appreciated to my email lau.9.andreasschmidt at xoxy.net
