Thanks for your report, which is also bug 47194. The program used for advanced partitioning, qtparted, appears to have crashed. The version of the installer present in Kubuntu 6.06.1 deals with this more gracefully. If you can reproduce the qtparted crash by running it directly from K Menu -> System, then please file a separate bug against qtparted.
