Thanks Phillip, Jan, and everybody else who offered help.
And especially thank you Jan (janh2) for pointing out the toram bug.
This seems to be exactly the problem: when i removed "toram" from my
grub menu item, i didn't encounter the same issue i had before.
I did encounter another issue, later in the process, because the
installer wants to umount all partitions on the drive containing the
partition ubuntu is to be installed to. That's a problem when you're
using a loopback source (i.e., the iso image on disk rather than DVD).
But that problem can be overcome by installing to a different disk
drive.
That solution worked for me, although of course it would be a fail for
anybody with only one disk.
So i think the toram bug is serious, and if there actually is a
launchpad bug report filed for it, i can go click on the "affects me
too" link. (So somebody please enlighten me if so.)
Thanks again everybody for your help!
