What hardware are you running? I assume you're installing off a cd? Which kernel version and flavor?
The lost interrupt error could mean your disk is bad (hd). Check that all your connections to the hd and cd drive are sound as well.

Did the installation complete or did it actually fail out? If it finished, run:
Code:
% cat /proc/interrupts

and post back the results.
