Looking at the syslog file there are multiple kernel oopses and it seems that ubiquity should deal with these better.

Changed in ubiquity (Ubuntu):

I tried installing Oneiric on an Asus EEE PC900, and at first it failed, hanging at "Configuring target system".

I tried recovering from the console, but that did not work. I checked what was happening at the time of the hang: /usr/share/ubiquity/installplugins.py was waiting for input on file descriptor 0. That file descriptor was a pipe, the other end was ubiquity. I killed installplugins.py, but then the installer (correctly) indicated that something went waywire and went into bug submission mode. Perhaps something wrong with one of the debconf sequences?

Then, I attempted to install Oneiric again. This time, I did everything the same as before, except that I did not check "upgrade packages while installing" on the start screen. This time, the installation proceeded perfectly. It seems that there is something different with one of the packages that is upgraded from the network versus the software on the CD.
