Just out of my mind, I did not check: If you are using a keybord and a monitor attached to the machine you try to install, you can switch to a text console / shell via ALT-F1 or ALT-F2. Somewhere on your disk you should find the configuration file named silo.conf. After installation, it's in /boot, but I don't know by mind where the disk is mounted during installation. I would check this file (does it look reasonable?). Then run silo manually (chroot into the system? ). Hopefully, you will get better error messages. If you are using a serial console: no idea.
