install quits beafore actually installing anything!


during the installation for Core 1 it asks numerous questions. just after i set the root paqssword which is 11 characters long it shows the hourglass 'naff off im buissey' cursor then the screen goes black, and swiches back to tty1... which now containes lots of stuff i dont understand... thoug the highlights seem to be:

Eip is set at invaladate_bdev [kernel] 0x4f
call trace [<c01451fd>] kill_bdev [kerne;] 0xd

code 8b 7b 20 66 39 43 0c 74 2c 74 2c 4e 89 fb 85 f6 7f eb 45 83 fd 02

(theres a lot of other stuff on screen but its mostly hex in '<>'s)
tty 2 is a mirror of tty 1 with line formatting
tty5 again has hex.. but the last message on screen is
"writing inode tabels 8/72"

the cd's check out fine :S
this really is WHAY over my head
google dosent know at all :'(
i just want linux to work
