This is not a duplicate, the crash came from a different point in the install (according to the syslog). The kernel had a problem occur:
Oct 21 02:40:02 ubuntu kernel: [17180155.012000] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000014

Also, retried several times and it did not work. many times it would hang the entire system, with no response whatsoever and a hard reboot needed. The CD verified to be correct as well.

Thanks for your report. This particular error is often due to a faulty CD/DVD disk or drive. It may help to clean the CD/DVD, to burn the CD/DVD at a lower speed, or to clean the CD/DVD drive lens (cleaning kits are often available from electronics suppliers).

The crash itself is a kernel oops; reassigning.

The 18 month support period for Edgy Eft 6.10 has reached its end of life. As a result, we are closing the linux-source-2.6.17 Edgy Eft kernel task. However, development has already began for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. It would be helpful if you could test the upcoming release and verify if this is still an issue - http://www.ubuntu.com/testing . If the issue still exists, please update this report by changing the Status of the "linux" task from "Incomplete" to "New". We appreciate your patience and understanding as we make this transition. Thanks!
