Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubiquity

After step 4 of 7 of the Ubuntu Installer, it looks like the graphic driver crashes. My screen to the middle third of the screen and looks like TV snow.

I have a NVidia 6600 card running on an AMD Athlon based machine.

Thanks for your report. This is also bug 73955, since fixed (well,
worked around, anyway). As you observe, switching away from X and back is a workaround. Oh, and sorry for my hasty first reponse - we get so many "installer crashed" bugs with no log files attached that requesting the logfiles has become almost an automatic action :-)
