I got the same error when I was installing.  My CD-ROM is
the master on the second IDE bus (hence hdc).  I have
a crappy CD-ROM, so I'm assuming that LINUX is having problems
with it.

When I swapped it with another CD-ROM, I was able to install.

What sort of a hard drive?  The secondary master wouldn't be a DMA66,
would it?  It might be a hard drive hardware problem:  loose cable,
hard drive failing.
