I finally discovered where ubiquity failed. When I finished "Who are
you?" These are the mount points

ubu...@ubuntu:~$ df
Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
aufs                    771516     40672    730844   6% /

none                    771516       164    771352   1% /dev/shm
tmpfs                   771516        44    771472   1% /tmp

none                    771516         4    771512   1% /var/lock
/dev/sda10            21413452    634204  19691504   4% /target

But if I click on Forward, then suddenly ubiquity mounts not selected
Linux partitions to the same target diectory, which causes ubiquity to
fail.

ubu...@ubuntu:~$ 

On /dev/sda6 is Ubuntu 10.04.1 installed. On /dev/sda8 is Ubuntu 10.10
installed.

I found a workaround. When I manually selected partiton /dev/sda10 as
root partition formatted as EXT4 and click on Forward and I wait for the
"Ready when you are" dialog. Then I did the rest of the steps. Then
again if I click by "Who are you?" on Forward ubiquity still mount other
Linux partitions to the same target directory. But this time I did
manually umounted /dev/sda6 and /dev/sda8

sudo umount /dev/sda8 
sudo umount /dev/sda6

So only /dev/sda10 is mounted to the target directory. After that I was
able to finish the installation with succes.


** Summary changed:

- ubiquity tried to install old 2.6.35-22-generic-pae kernel
+ ubiquity tries to mount not selected Linux partitions to target directory
