The install machine already is partitioned and has a working copy of ubuntu 6.06 server-type install on it. I didn't change the partitions but was going to install on the existing root without formatting.
/var/log/installer/syslog attached

Thanks for your report. At present, you must reformat system partitions (e.g. /, /boot, /usr, or /var) during installation; the fact that the partitioner doesn't warn you about this is also bug 47046, and is fixed in 6.06.1. If you are upgrading an existing installation, then please see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperUpgrades rather than using this installer.
