I experienced the same problem trying to install Ubuntu 6.0.6. LTS from the Live CD. [I downloaded and burned the ISO image. It's self-check passed]
My computer is a Presario 5000Z-1.0 GHz circa 2001 (Full specs at http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00008665&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&product=239426) I have upgraded this machine in four ways: (a) maxed out the RAM to 768 MB, (b) replaced the original HD with a 80 GB parallel ATA drive, (c) Added a 300 GB SATA drive accesssed through a PCI bus multi-function card, (d) replaced the original video card with a WinFast GeForce2 Ultra. The 80 GB drive is configured to dual boot both WinME and WinXP. (I use WinME to play certain video games that never migrated to XP). The primary partition is a 5 GB FAT 32 partition for WinME. The extended partition contains a 30 GB NTFS partition for WinXP, and a 1 GB NTFS partition for burning CDs. The rest of the drive is free space. The 300 GB SATA drive was partitioned into 60 GB primary partition and a 300 GB extended partition split into two logical drives of 150 GB each. All partitions used NTFS. My plan was to install Ubuntu on the primary partition of the SATA drive, and then select Ubuntu by selecting the SATA drive as the boot HD via my BIOS. So, I booted Ubuntu from the Live CD and fired up the installer. I chose the manual partitioning becuase I have data in the extended partiton that I didn't want to trash. I used the 'resize' and 'new' operations to split the original 60 GB primary partition into a 1.5 GB swap partition (formatted as 'linux-swap' and a 58.5 boot partition (which in my ignorance I left as NTFS). The installer completed without complaint but nothing was written to the boot partition. After some reading I learned that Linux can't write NTFS file systems and I needed to format the boot partition as Ext3. Armed with this knowledge, I boot again from the Live CD and fire up the installer. I split the 58.5 GB boot partition into a 15 GB boot partition (for / and /boot) and a 43.5 GB partition (for /home). Both partitions were to be formatted as Ext3. When I tried to go from page 5 to page 6 of the installer, I got the following crash message. (I have attached the requested logs in a single file, CrashLogs.txt. The log contents re separated by a delimiter '===== <filename> ====' ). --------------- We're sorry; the installer crashed.
