Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubiquity

Ubuntu 6.10 fails to load yaboot whether I let the computer do the partitioning or if I do it myself. Trying to install on a Digital Audio G4 tower with an OWC CPU upgrade card in it.
Gives this to attach to message.

Traceback (most recent call last):

Says it may or may not be bootable, and doesn't finish the last 6 or 8% of the install.
