Hmm, 'haven't experienced that Mark (I've installed OS X on 266 mhz iMacs all the way through to eMacs and G4 / G5 Towers).
The only time I received an irrecoverable error during an OS install was during a clamshell 'graphite' iBook job ... turned out to be a hard disk issue with the OS installation (tried OS 9 and X). Why do I suspect it had something to do with the OS? I've been using the hard disk from the iBook in a 2.5" firewire enclosure for two months without a hitch.
