I have exactly the same error with Flight 7, downloaded today! I had to partition manually with cfdisk because I did not understand how the graphical partitioner works (BTW: I'm not an unexperienced user, I use Debian for about eight years). On /dev/hda1 I had a FAT32 partition and on /dev/hda2 an ext3 partition with Dapper already installed (from upgrades). But because there was no swap partition installed when I installed Hoary last year and to test the installer I wanted to install a fresh Ubuntu. I deleted /dev/hda2 and created /dev/hda2 (/home), /dev/hda5 (swap), and /dev/hda6 (/) and wrote it to the disk:

/dev/hda1 FAT32
/dev/hda2 ext3
/dev/hda5 swap
/dev/hda6 ext3

I even rebooted with the live CD and the error is reproducible. Is there another way to install Dapper, maybe a textual interface I did not find? Or do I have to use a Breezy CD and then upgrade?

PS: Sorry for submitting the one attachement before this comment.
