If you would like us to look into these errors, you will have to provide
some additional information. Especially the syslog of the installation
which should show the exact errors.
For you last installation, the syslog should be available in
/var/log/installer/ on the installed system. During installation you can
save it using the "Save debug logs" option in the installer's main menu.
For the partitioning issue, you would probably have to reproduce it before
we can look into it and if any errors are displayed on screen, we would
need those to (exact words).
If you mail us the syslog, please gzip it!
Cheers,

Here is the syslog. There are a few segmentation faults and other errors in it. You can see where the software install failed and I manually installed grub from the menu and went on.
WARNING **: Menu item 'pkgsel' failed.
I assume this failure is what prevented the install from going through the X configuration process. I'm not sure what else was skipped.
