"Failed to create a file system"

[Aaron]

I finally got the Ubuntu 6.06.1 LTS CD to boot, and clicked on the "install" icon. I partitioned with erase entire disc (80g), and installed. While installing system, I got the error "failed to create a file system". The only choice I had was "enter" so i hit enter. It continued for a couple of minutes and then stopped. I got this messge:

sorry, the installer crashed. file a new bug report and include
/var/log/installer/syslog,var/log/partman:

then there is a very long list of about 20 lines of text. Please help.
