Thanks for your report. The kernel apparently decided that it was unsafe to write any more data to your hard disk, and marked it as read-only. This particular error is normally due to a faulty hard disk, or sometimes a problem with the kernel. It may help to check whether the hard disk is old and in need of replacement, or to move the system to a cooler environment. The installer in Ubuntu 6.10 displays a better error message when this happens.
