my installation was able to get to the bit where the installation says:

finalize disk "MacOSX86 (my volume name)"

but for some reason, the installation just doesnt finish. after that, there is a bunch of errors, so i assume thats got the clues as to where it screws up.
i was wondering if some one could look the installer log and help me out. if this helps, look at the time on the side about March 24 02:43:00 onwards

the log is at users.on .net/~tran_home/installerlog.txt

i would gladly appreciate anyone's input
