Maybe a problem with your installation CD - or a hardware issue.

Type "debug" ath the boot prompt. That way the installation stops 
at several stages providing a debugging shell - just type CTRL-D to 
continue installation.

Maybe you can get more info about the failure that way.

Usinig reliable HW is essential, especially if you virtualize and run
more than one VM on a HW node.
