Your session save path appears to be invalid or is not writable. PHP needs to be able to save data to this location in order for correct session operation. Please check that session.save_path in PHP.ini points to a valid path, and is read/write/execute for the user your web server is running under.
Read the message?
It's detecting a valid gotcha condition, although
* it shouldn't halt installation * there is a bug in it (which affects some PHP configurations)
Both of these have been fixed in r22729, which is in current trunk, and it might be an idea if these were backported into 1.10.1 should that become a release. The original rationale was that sessions that couldn't be saved were useless, and the idea was to warn people about a frequent misconfiguration that led to a classic FAQ, however, aborting installation seems to upset people more than a warning.
If you're certain that your session configuration is sound, then open config/index.php in a regular editor and comment out or remove lines 396-415 inclusive.
