It could be a thousand different things; you made a noble effort to give us the diagnostics from your system, but they are inconclusive [what happens when it bails during the install?]. It sounds like either your /dev/hdb partition table was improperly written to the disk [reformat it, there's nothing on it- right?], or the kernel is pointed toward /dev/hda as your root device. Good Luck! jsaylor
