Public bug reported:
Previous installation of Ubuntu 16.04 became progressively slower and
reported clean-up operations on hard drive during each boot process. I
suspect that the hard drive had developed bad sectors. Tried to re-
install Ubuntu 16.04 on a different disk. Tried to format the old
partition and to use mount point /usr. Seems that the crash occurred as
soon as the installation process tried to write to the disk drive. I had
hoped that formatting it first would detect and flag the bad sectors but
it does not seem as if it had worked...
