Seems to be errors surfacing while installing packages.  Many critical packages failed to install properly (including grub).

/mnt/sysimage/root/install.log:
Installing libgcc-4.4.0-4.x86_64

Is it possible you have a failing disk?  From the logs you posted ...

<6>sda1: rw=0, want=116129808, limit=102400000
<2>EXT3-fs error (device sda1): read_inode_bitmap: Cannot read inode bitmap - block_group = 443, inode_bitmap = 14516225
<2>EXT3-fs error (device sda1) in ext3_new_inode: IO failure
<6>attempt to access beyond end of device

I don't think I have a failing disk, but using the utility console to manually partition and make filesystems gave me a working install. I am not interested in further debugging this, so you may mark it closed if you like.
