[Bug 2139486] [NEW] Tried to factory reset my compute stick, crashed

[Kaibalya Giri]

Public bug reported:

I have an intel compute stick lying around, decided to boot it up and
factory reset it.  When I factory reset it, it reinstalled Ubuntu 14.04.
Near the end of the installation, it just didn't want to finish, and
just crashed.
