Bryce: To at least rule a few things out, i'm actually able to avoid the crash by running with 'nomodeset' on my kernel command line, so it is only happening in the Intel scenario when the intel driver is being used. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/706117 Title: Installation fails using preseed file and network install -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 706117] Re: Installation fails using preseed file and network install
Fwiw, it's not absolutely certain X is the root cause - the crashes that the backtraces illustrate are due to programming errors in the error handling code. Basically something goes wrong in the system, yada yada, we run out of memory, then X is unable to do stuff because it's out of memory and starts receiving null pointers for memory allocation, and some of the X code doesn't check the return values of the memory allocation calls and so crashes. So, the X crashes are a symptom rather than a root cause here. The real question is why is it running out of memory? Is it X? The kernel? Is it something in the test harness itself? Hard to guess based on the info at hand, but I think figuring that out is the next step. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/706117 Title: Installation fails using preseed file and network install -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Mario: Sorry for not updating the past few days. Also, thanks for your analysis of the logs and advice on the X segfault situation. For the latter, we filed bug #708744 for xorg, which appears to be the root cause of the problem here. We did try the latest image (from today, January 27th) and the problem with the Xorg segfault persists. For the former, re: installation of packages, it appears that postfix's main.cf file has some invalid parameters which cause configuration to fail, I'm investigating further into that. FWIW we're not even installing postfix expliticly, so it's probably a dependency for some other package. I'll keep the report up to date with my findings. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/706117 Title: Installation fails using preseed file and network install -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thanks Colin, I did as you suggested and here are the installer/debug and syslog files for the system (a Dell Vostro V13 that drops to the livecd environment).
