Caveat; I've never touched ubuntu. Did you try a reboot? Uusually, in debian based installs, it just gives you a message to remove the install cd/dvd and reboot. Did you look at cntrl+alt+f1...f6 the virtual terminals for messages? at the prompt you could try ls and see if it lists an error file or install log, then cat install.log and read the end cat install.log | more might work as well(not all utils are there inthe beginning)
