Your traceback output appears to be truncated.

Looks alot like bug 18032.

Comment 2 Rafael Otalora 2001-02-27 16:37:01 UTC
I have looked at previous bug reports similar to this one. I have changed my installation to indicate not to mount the FAT partitions that exist on the disk, 
by doing this the installer continues with no problems, therefore is the mounting of FAT partitions that causes the installer to crash.
