installer has crashed twice from Live CD

Binary package hint: ubiquity

I am trying to install Ichthux Linux from the Live CD. It has actually crashed three times - the first time it wouldn't go beyond selecting the keyboard - the second and third times happened at the same point, in partitioning. The second time I told it to erase the entire disk, the third time I told it to resize partition 1 and use the freed space. Each time it stopped at exactly the same point - at 99% it sat there for several minutes and said "failed to create file system" then it continued and when building the ext3 it just stops at 14%. It looks like it's going... the bar is still "running" ... but nothing happens and eventually I just have to manually stop it.

Here is what the logfile generated:
