Attached is my install.xml and the console log and install log. I have tried many times and http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-368662-postdays-0-postorder-asc-start-25.html shows mine and other travails. The installer is looking good btw. I did follow the update installer advice from the FAQs Good luck. Its a great roadmap.

The console log shows the results. Expected Results: Installed Gentoo. I was trying to reset the portage tree snap shot bit and it was disabled. This was after loading my installer.xml file.
I just revisited the installer. If I choose on stageselection: stage3/grp/Dynamic on the next page it defaults to 'snapshot' but disables the URI field. 1) Why disable the choice of webrsync? 2) Is this not contradictory? How can I enter a snapshot if the URI field is disabled? Looks like a bug.
You missed the part of the FAQ that says to file bugs to the GLI team and not the release team... ;]
Also, dynamic forcing the snapshot is not a bug, as dynamic *requires* the snapshot to be identical to the one used to build the CD, not the latest one from webrsync. The problem is that currently, there is a bug in the LiveCD that causes the snapshot to not be located in the proper place. I will be releasing a new LiveCD shortly (next few days) that resolves that issue, but am currently testing a couple new technologies to be employed on the CD before I can do this.
I was just reviewing this bug. I noticed the segfaults all over the place. Have you tried running memtest?
*** Bug 103162 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
The first issue looks like hardware. The second issue has been "fixed" in CVS. I've modified the code so that it looks in /mnt/cdrom/snapshots/ *and* /mnt/livecd/snapshots/ (latest livecd mistakenly has snapshot here). The snapshot URI field should now be filled in.
Moving to Release Media/Installer.
