This happened to me while installing Ubuntu 6.06.1. I was unable to do anything with /var/log/installer/syslog because the system had frozen up, forcing me to restart.
FWIW, the time I decided to leave the mountpoint for my (pre-existing) home directory partition as the default /media/hdb1 (instead of setting it to /home), it worked. However, this could just be coincidence - I've got a working system now, so I'd rather not try installing again just to test this... -- "Copying files" remaining seconds freezes https://launchpad.net/bugs/54711 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
