Title:
  installation crashed (4th time in a row)

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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
