Installer crashes after selecting packages

I'm installing over a network, and I can't get past it to start installing. I successfully enterd my server, got it to download stage2.img. Then, every time I move on to another step, I get a bunch of error messages (with the option to ignore or cancel), but it lets me move on anyways. Then, after I select all the packages I want and click install, I get a few more errors followed by an error that gives me the option to save to a floppy, and then it exits out of the graphic mode and goes to a text screen that says it is safe to reboot. Any ideas?

Second time same thing. Third time I decided not to use the auto-formating-thingie and got rid of the LVM Volume Groups. Instead I did regular partioning of my two harddrives and it seems to do the trick. At least now the installation went further and is copying files..=)

In core 3, I got it to work by removing my Windows hard drive. In core 4, it worked just fine, but GRUB didn't seem to be installed (I'm starting a new topic about this).
