I could be wrong as dont install much via CD/DVD as I use jumpstart and JET but could it be when the install is trying to hit the drive the system is trying to install the OS on?

i.e you have a drive with a bad label which needs to be looked at from a format?

Had something similar on a T1000, hardware raided it, went to install but it failed when jumpstarting. had to boot it single user and format the drive, when I entered format, it asked me to label the drive which I did. Restarted the install and everything went fine after that
