I belive this is your second post and i have not seen a reply, so i
will have a bash, possably Ray or Lawson could help out as well as i
do not have scsi disks here.
The last line of the dump could possably indicate that you are at the
start of the install process, is that correct,?
It could mean that the source disk is not properly readable, however
that is a pure guess, i think you will have to elaborate a little as
to where the problem occurs in the install process.
I take it the /dev/hda(s) are on another machine, i say this because
you say you have 3 scsi disks, in that case the devices should be
/dev/scdX and not hdaX. !!

I wonder what the debug lines are, have you tryed.??
