Me too. I am using a Dell Inspiron 8100, and during install it has failed multiple times. I have tried to use EXT3 and EXT4 on two attempts, and tried to install from liveCD and once directly installing from boot menu.
Any suggestions? I have successfully installed onto my netbook without any issues using a different download; possibly corrupt ISO image for this download? Will do a checksum and update if not matching.

Me too. Does the install put a log file anywhere where you can see what the problem is? When it automatically reboots into the live cd, it wants to send a crash report for ubiquity. I'm trying to do a clean install on a Sony Vaio laptop with XP already installed. I also tried the LinuxMint 7 that is based on jaunty-same thing. It's not the cd - md5 of download good. Burned with K3b and verified OK. Ran the cd test on the boot menu-all OK.

I had that problem. Try this. Run the live cd. Open a terminal and...
ubiquity --no-migration-assistant
The installer should run OK after that. I have 5 different distros on this machine and ubiquity tried to migrate my setting from all of them so it crashed. There is a big pile of bug reports at launchpad about this.

It even did it with the no-migration line and it didn't work for me. I did get an install done. I had to download the alternate cd iso, burn it and use it. For those who can't make anything work, try it-
