I think I had the same problem. I was doing a fresh install on a
PowerBook G4 15" Titanium. I have a external drive (a 320 GB OWC
Neptune) originally with 4 partitions. During the install I deleted the
last partition (about 120 GB), then asked the installer to use the
largest continuous free block on that disk. The installer mostly seemed
to work, but was unable to install the bootloader. I then got the
"Installer crashed" dialog, which asked me to post the following:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/ubiquity", line 130, in ?
install(sys.argv[1])
File "/usr/bin/ubiquity", line 55, in install
ret = wizard.run()
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ubiquity/frontend/gtkui.py", line 264,
in run
self.progress_loop()
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ubiquity/frontend/gtkui.py", line 538,
in progress_loop
raise RuntimeError, ("Install failed with exit code %s; see "
RuntimeError: Install failed with exit code 1; see /var/log/installer/syslog
and /var/log/syslog
I'll try again and see what happens. I've attached
/var/log/installer/syslog; the rest are coming.
