That may be, and I'll take a look, but when using usb-creator-kde (and I
assume other versions as well), it formats the USB drive before it
begins any copy process.

Looks to me like this would be an issue caused by remaining files from
other iso images when they are done using usb-creator.

busybox-initramfs failing to install or other messages saying that

Data point: the work-around in comment #22 worked for me too. Systems

When you say Startup Disk Creator, do you mean usb-creator-gtk which

'Unable to install busibux-initramfs'
Actually I understood what was wrong in my installation!!!
Basically I was reusing the same usb stick I used for a previous Ubuntu
installation and the Startup Disk Creator application didn't cleared out the
usb stick.. so files of two Ubuntu version (14.04 Desktop and Server) were
coexisting
I've also seen this with 14.04.1; I tried Chris' workaround and the
install gets further, but ultimately fails (probably for an unrelated
reason). In any case, it is definitely still an issue.

FWIW - I also had trouble with this on 14.04 LTS.
I did 2 things, the latter of which I think is the reason I was able
install:
1. Recreated the USB using the startup-disk-creator in Ubuntu itself
(not Unetbootin!)
2. Plugged the USB stick into a USB 2 (black) slot, as opposed to USB 3
(blue)
Actually I ran into further problems later down including install
hanging due to files that needed to be clobbered and then not being able
to boot properly. I went back and made the thumb drive image with rufus
instead of unetbootin using the same ISO and this time it installed
without issues and
I saw this installing 14.04 using a usb thumb drive as well. As ugly as
it is, Chris Ball's hack got me going.

I'm seeing this too, Ubuntu 14.04 server install on a USB3 key to a
4.4GHz machine. I agree that it looks like a race.
You don't need to explain all the ways in which this is probably a
terrible idea, but since the current workaround (in #21) is involves
upgrading from 12.04 to 14.04 and sounds
This happens to me, too, server installation is currently broken in some
settings. This appears to be a bug or a race in the installer logic, as
running the apt-get command by hand in a chroot succeeded. So apparently
there is not really an error during the underlying package installation,

I can't say I have a workaround, but I did manage to get my machine built after

Same issue: 13.04 64-bit, ubuntu server.
The errors pgoetz reported were actually probably false postives (I see
the same thing): http://askubuntu.com/questions/180218/why-does-

I burned a CD (of the same .iso image) and the installation worked fine.
I wonder if there are race conditions in the installer that are only
triggered by the speed of the flash-based install?

(That CD, incidentally, did pass the verification test... since I
created the flash drive with two different creators (unetbootin and the
KDE tool) and the drive is fine afaik, I suspect either the creation of
it or the use of it was triggering that issue.)

So, I ended up in a menu which allowed me to test the bootable USB stick
I was trying to use to install 13.04 AMD server, and it reported errors.
I downloaded another copy of the 13.04 ISO and made another bootable
USB. This one allowed the system to be installed with no problems
whatsoever, so
I'm having exactly the same problem with 13.04 64-bit server. Can
someone elaborate on what's involved in using the linux-server package
in the preseed? Thanks!

This issue has not occurred since. The installations with linux-server
entry in the preseed do not see any issues now. (Except a couple of
instances due to temp kernel version mismatch between the archive and
the d-i, but they have been already dealt with.) In any case I'll keep
watching if this
This may be due to the fact that linux-server is a transitional package
and now points to linux-generic. Perhaps if you were to use that
package in your preseed you'd have better luck. Could you give this a
try? Thanks in advance.

I experience this issue too. I have 3 drives in the machine and have

Same result on a core 2 IBM machine. It just won't install past
