I think the duplicate entry is because it had problems uploading the information. I had only one system in the past few minutes have this issue.
Please attach the logs from /tmp at the time of the crash as individual, text/plain attachments.
I tried rebuilding this system last night and hit the same issue. This morning, I tried for a third time, and I was able to install successfully. I was able to install on this system before, but there were issues and so that's why I was doing the reinstall. Hopefully this install is a good one and I won't need to rebuild it. I have two other systems to install, but they're both Dells and this problem one is Lenovo. I'll update this if I have more issues. In case it matters, I'm booting off of a usb thumb drive and then doing a net install.
