Title:
  OSError: [Errno 17] File exists: '/target/var/lock'

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I was running Natty.  I chose the upgrade to Oneiric.  I left it unattended and then when I came back later it had a blank screen and keyboard unresponsive.  Tried switching off and on again- Grub came up, chose the kernel 3.0 or option at the top- it gave me a blank screen.
  Chose earlier kernel which I thought might be corresponding to natty- that didn't work either
  So booted from CD with Natty and tried to install Natty all over again.  Got this message that installer crashed and asked me to attach these 2 files /var/log/syslog and /var/log/partman

  I am able to attach only 1 of the files.
