During installation, after copying has completed, I receive the above followed by this message:

Could you please attach the full log files, using the "Add Attachment" link on this bug's web page? I need more than just the ends of them.

this is the same error that I'm getting in my installation...

[Colin Watson (cjwatson)]

I never got that extra information I needed, but from the subject of this bug, it looks like this is also bug 48524; that occurs due to a failure to handle module load errors on certain hardware. This is fixed in 6.06.1, so you can work around it by upgrading all packages with 'ubiquity' in their names on the running live CD before starting the installer.
