Is it when the partitioner is starting up or when you have set up all the partitions you want and try to commit the changes?Have you tried booting the installer with 'linux26'? That will make the installer use a 2.6 kernel instead of the default 2.4 kernel.Can you please give us the exact error messages visible on VT3 (use alt-F3) or VT4 (use alt-F4) when you see the errors?
