Public bug reported: I've tried to install from a Ubuntu 16.04.1 USB flash drive (desktop, iso) made bootable with latest yumi multiboot creator (only this distro was added on FAT32). I've also enabled >= 3GiB of persistent storage space on the flash drive. The system was a Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 mobo with an AMD CPU, compatible 8 GiB of HyperXFury DDR3 SDRAM and a Kingston SSDNOW 300V 240gb SSD, with latest FW at the date of writing this (23/11/2016;DD/MM/YYYY)
I think that if you want to reproduce this crash, you MUST 1) boot it by hitting any key when the "keyboard = human" sign appears, choose booting into the live desktop 2) open a terminal with CTRL+ALT+T and run the following commands #make installation possible (this handles a possible overlayfs bug) sudo su - mv /var/cache/app-info/xapian/default /var/cache/app-info/xapian/default.old mv /var/cache/app-info/xapian/default.old /var/cache/app-info/xapian/default chmod 755 /var/cache/app-info/xapian/default #install ssh which triggers installation of latest kernel version, which will fail mentioning a casper fs path; this is understandleble ofc; the CD/DVD FS is a RO FS apt-get update && apt-get install ssh --fix-missing # Just a side-note: I'm using --fix-missing, since 16.04 appeared; this also seems to be a bug; one would expect that apt handles dependencies without further parameters... The uploader does not allow multiple selections (eg both /var/log/partman and /var/log/syslog) so I decided to upload syslog.
