Bug Description
Binary package hint: ubiquity
The last few lines of syslog show an OSError saying that /target/cdrom already exists.
Indeed it existed from my previous installation and was a(n invalid) symbolic link:
root@ubuntu:~# ls -l /target/
total 117
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2010-09-01 16:24 bin
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 1024 2010-09-18 20:57 boot
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 2008-07-24 21:54 cdrom -> media/cdrom
This was somehow not cleaned up during the first few stages of installation. I will remove this manually and retry.

This bug was fixed in the package ubiquity - 2.4.0
---------------
ubiquity (2.4.0) maverick; urgency=low
[ Sebastian Heinlein ]
* Rework oem-config-gtk to use a mainloop (LP: #637517)
[ Evan Dandrea ]
* Call gconftool-2 --set with --config-source.
* Better lock down the installer environment when past partitioning.
* Lock down the installer environment when at partitioning commit,
rather than just after automatic partitioning (and not manual
partitioning) (LP: #640604, LP: #641897).
* Do not show the quit button in OEM mode.
* Depend on aptdaemon (LP: #641051).
* Fix the skip download button (LP: #628311).
* Make the '[type here to change]' string translatable (LP: #642989).
* Disable the non-free software option if multiverse and restricted
are disabled via preseed (LP: #641676).
* Install kubuntu-
(LP: #643614).
* Clear hostname error when fixed (LP: #640661).
* Deal with broken /cdrom symlinks (LP: #642274).
* Disable locking the screen and switching users in the installer
session (LP: #644016).
* Update translations from Launchpad.
[ Colin Watson ]
* Stop ubiquity and oem-config when stopping display managers. This
should guarantee that X has exited by the time we try to start plymouth
on shutdown (LP: #628630).
