Bug Description

This was a fresh install using the desktop ISO. At 94% got an error dialog about failing to install grub, and then an "Installer crashed" dialog:

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 553, 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

Wow, /var/log/syslog displays a kernel oops in sync_sb_inodes that I've never seen before. This is a kernel bug. Ben?
