Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubiquity

I've now attempted two installs of Ubuntu and Kubuntu to VirtualBox VMs.

One was Ubuntu Desktop 32, the other was Kubuntu Desktop amd64.

Both cases involved selecting Free Software Only from the F6 Options menu.

In both cases, the system failed to reboot afterwards.

Also, I just did a Xubuntu OEM install case and this did NOT occur.
So this seems to only happen, so far, on installs that involve the "Free Software Only" option.

Just tried a normal Kubuntu install (non-OEM, auto-resized disk) and this also failed to reboot showing the same error messages that I saw when doing the "Free Software Only" installs.

Todays failure was using daily builds current as of 11 March. Summary changed to reflect new data.

New logs from todays testing of Ubiquity 2.1.35 and the 12 March daily builds. Still fails to reboot after install with same messages in syslog

As an addendum, I can drop to console and use "sudo reboot" to get the system to successfully reboot post-install. It's just when Ubiquity tries to reboot that failure occurs.

- [Lucid A3] System does not reboot after some installs
