I'm in the process of installing a new box, last night before going to bed I started installing xorg server. This morning, I found the 82nd build (out of 162) had failed with the following error:

Also worthy of note is the reason for installing this new box, the previous install developed severe hard disk corruption. Because of that, this install is located on a brand new 250G Seagate with a five year warranty, so while not impossible, I tend to doubt that the hard disk it self is the true root cause. Okay, so my question is how bad is it? Is there anyway to shutdown cleanly? I do have a second brand new 250G Seagate, is another clean install, with a *second* brand new drive the best alternative, or is some even lower level hardware (i.e. disk controller) the more likely culprit at this point?
