Hi Vassillis, Thanks for the suggestion about the potential of a dying hard drive -- unfortunately the problem occurred again when trying to install with a second, identical SATA disk. Also tried different SATA cable. Could this be indicative of problems with the SATA controller on the motherboard? It's a Via VT8237A.
I am going to try the 32-bit kernel and see what happens...
