Mmmh... I've got the same problem three-four times, exactly as described.

In my case, the NFS server was quite busy, so I moved the loop-mounted 
image to another server and the install went perfectly... but I don't 
know the problem was related to the NFS server.

In my case, I was installing Centos5 x86_64 on an HP Blade BL25p.

Bye!
