I.e. two completely identical RAM sticks (2x1GB) from Corsair brand (2 packages with same part number), so there is no chance this error to have anything to do with my memory - it works flawless. It will be ridiculous Canonical to blame user's hardware(memory) for this pretty clear to me bug ;)

Of course I could that weired workaround, but this will just prove to me that there is a bug (some memory management issue).

Yesterday I had some time, so I've installed Kubuntu 8.10 first and then upgraded to 9.04 via update-notifier-kde.

I hope Canonical will pay attention and fix the installer :) I'm pretty often use this method to install from scratch than upgrading current OS (old habit from M$ Win) :)
