I'm grabbing now, but a full ISO takes a while on my 'narrow' band.
could you post up the md5sum of the ISO so we know we have a non-
corrupted version. as regards to the other issue(s), these are reported
by amd-mac / 32 bit /ppc etc. which do not have access to the cherry-
picked kernel fix as there is only the 'standard' AMD64 bit available.
The testers are very eager to get their hands on such kernels to see if
it does indeed stop the random freezes and also allows a full suite of
ISO's to be built. I do concur that there may be another bug affecting
zram and 3.11.x kernel, but one step at a time. If this fixes the
installer issue, the testers can then run with the kernel and see if
they get random freezes after install.

Thanks for your continued work on this issue,
Phill.

Title:
  Unexpected freezes Saucy

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  When using desktop-installer with lubuntu there is a freeze at the
  very end (bug 1225429) which also affects desktop-i386 and desktop-
  amd64. There are also unexplained freezes on the system when using it.
  Further tracking down has found
  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2162655&page=3 and earlier
  today this arrived..

  As for freezing we discovered that since kernel 3.10.6 zram is broken
  which causes freezes and was fixed only completely in 3.12rc1. We
  backported that fixes in Neptune's Kernel I am not sure if the ubuntu
  kernel devs did the same.

  Disabling zram prevents the freeze in desktop-i386

  My machine specification is http://phillw.net/hardware/aDU4RVzY
  although using the lower RAM (512Mb) has been achieved by KVM
  http://phillw.net/hardware/LuFdGuxP increasing the available RAM to
  1GB does not show this error. It has also now been tested on 'real'
  hardware with 512Mb of RAM and is also showing the freeze (as well as
  with VBox).
