I had deleted the previous Ubuntu Server installation. I recreated the
installation on a different computer using VirtualBox. After the install
failed I get the shell retrieved /var/log/syslog info which is in the
screenshot.

There is not enought of /var/log/syslog present for me to determine what is going on. If you can't attach the whole file how about using tail -n30 or something that will fill the whole screen.

tail -n 30 /var/log/syslog screenshot attached

I tried recreating this using an ubuntu server daily image from 20130415.1 and was unable to, are you still having this issue? Thanks in advance!

I tried the daily image 20130415.1 also no problems.

I'm setting this to Invalid as we don't know what the exact fix was so Fix Released is inappropriate.

I had the same error with newly downloaded ubuntu 12.04 server install image on a virtual machine. I don't know how to copy the text from the vm, but you can find the error attached as an image.

I am using 64 bits of virtual machine with 1 GB of disk storage, all default settings. The virtual machine used is KVM.

ubuntu 14.04.5的iso，安装在SCSI总线的磁盘上，会出现上述问题，且必现
复现是在虚拟机环境下复现的，提供参考
