Installing Magento CE 1.7: Error when installing database

I got a strange error when installing a fresh Magento CE 1.7 on my development server. I'm already successfully running test-installs in versions 1.5, 1.6 and 1.6.1.

After unpacking the tar (permissions set correctly according to the SSH install guide) I'm running the installer. I filled in my mysql credentials and hit the continue button. Magento tries to run all the queries to install the fresh database but fails after a few seconds with the error

Fatal error: Call to a member function insert() on a non-object in /var/www/html/magento/1.7/app/code/core/Mage/Core/Model/Resource/Resource.php on line 133

I already wiped out the entire webroot and unpacked everything again, running the installer all over. But every time I get the same error.

What can I do?

Thanks, aeno

As a reference, the full error including call stack:

Fatal error: Call to a member function insert() on a non-object in /var/www/html/magento/1.7/app/code/core/Mage/Core/Model/Resource/Resource.php on line 133

Delete your var folder.

I had same problem, after deleting var folder, Magento installed smoothly..

Hope this helps you.

This may occur if the installer doesn't have rights for write in app/etc
