Someone else may recognise the error - I don't straight off - but I may
be able to help with this bit:

How far did the installation get? Have you got to a stage where you can
log in? If you can get to a login prompt you can type this:

less /var/log/messages

You can then scroll up and down - go to the end to see what it says last
as that's probably where the problem is.

If it doesn't mean much to you post the last few lines to the list and
I'm sure someone will be able to help. If you need help getting the file
onto a floppy for example to save re-typing it all just let us know.
