Thanks for your report. This particular error is often due to a faulty hard disk. It may help to check whether the hard disk is old and in need of replacement, or to move the system to a cooler environment.

The Edgy installer will display roughly the above explanation if this happens.

Changed in ubiquity:
status: Unconfirmed → Rejected
