How do I attach multiple files so you get both syslog and partman?
This seems to be a particularly irritating bug that's never been fixed in the three or more years it's been known. The only workarounds people seem to have found is slow burning the Live CD or pulling out one of your RAM sticks. I've tried both and it hasn't fixed the problem.
Now the problem has inexplicably struck my system I've discovered the bug has legacy! I now can't install older version of Ubuntu or Mint without getting Errno 5 during the installation. It always appears at the same point in each installation - so 55% on Mint 9, a few minutes on Ubuntu 10.10, 25% or so on Mint 10, etc.
