Title:
  Grub problem forced re-install, resulting in crash (see
  http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/RjjrVvBwSs/)

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  In the reinstall, I selected 'manual' for disk setup, set /dev/sda7 to
  format as ext4 at /, then selected /dev/sda8 to be set as /home/ with
  ext4 type. After returning to the partition layout screen I decided I
  should wipe what is in the /home partition in case something there is
  causing the grub problem. At the point I clicked on the 'format' check
  box the system crashed and requested I file a bug report.

  No syslog or partman files can be seen in /var/log/installer/
