I also thought that the culprit might be a bad disk but then it shouldn't 
boot in the first attempt itself. (Linux boots after the installation 
restarts the machine after installation is done.) Still I changed the 
partition size, location and checked for bad sectors while formatting the 
partition..... same results :(

btw my hdd is a samsung 10 GB drive and it has 1240 cylinders. My root 
partition is from 768 to 1023 cylinders. will moving this to the beginning 
of the disk make any difference?? Can the location of the partition be 
associated in any way with this?
