I've done about 10 consecutive installs using my local build and 36000 seems to be adequate. It sounds like something else is going on. Also trying another kernel could be an option to try. The build machine is Paris is offline at the moment, but once it's up I'm going to replace the install image with what I've been working with here. That said, the only problems others, (including myself) have reported from the tree on the mirrors, is the installer thinking certain packages are bad and not installing them, giving less than desirable results at the end of the install.
