Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

We're attempting to install from a Natty daily image, through the
network and using a preseed file.

The installation starts normally and goes up to a certain point, but
then the installer exits and we're dropped to the LiveCD graphical
environment. Sometimes a "system program failed" message appears. I've
also observed the systems rebooting, my guess is that it happens when
the bug gets triggered twice in a row (once for the installation and
once again for the LiveCD environment).

syslog shows a sefgault on Xorg, which is probably what's causing the
installer to die.

This particular trace and attached apport report were produced on a Dell
Vostro 3400, though I am able to reproduce the problem on an Acer Aspire
One D255, Lenovo Thinkpad X201, Asus EeePC 1001PX and Dell Inspiron Mini
1011.

This bug is very similar to bug 708744 which is a duplicate of 705078,
and the circumstances under which it occurs are as described on bug
706117, we're using the same test setup and the only thing we changed
was the image, this problem occurs using the 20110207 image, and though
the symptom is similar, from glancing at the backtrace I get the
impression it's a different problem than the one described/fixed on bug
705078.

How to reproduce:
- Use the LiveCD image from 20110207 to do a network install using the attached preseed file. The system gets PXE configuration through DHCP and its preseed file via http, mounting the relevant install media through NFS.
Expected result:
- System finishes installing and reboots
Actual result: 
- The installation gets stopped when the X server crashes, usually dropping to the LiveCD environment.
