When you get this crash, can you jump over to tty3 and tty4, take a picture, and attach them to this bug report?

Are you perhaps trying to install an x86_64 distribution on an i386 machine? I've been completely unable to reproduce this problem in any installations here, and we have not gotten widespread reports of it. So I don't know what could be going on.
