The log immediately starts off with some hardware errors in it:

I would check the cables to /dev/sda or ensure that the hardware is not failing. Thanks!

@Brian:
Yes you were right, probably it was a problem with my SD Card.
I changed it with a new one and the installation went fine, no crahes.
Thanks.
