using the installer on the 2006.0 install live cd, each time the installer tries to emerge gentoo-sources, the installer throws back error 'list index out of range' and the install fails. this happens each time i try to run the installer using gentoo-sources for my kernel, with bootsplash enabled. using the livecd kernel results in a successful installation. contents of /var/log/install.log.failed: GLI: April 29 2006 19:48:53 - Setting root password.

Thank you for the detail of your bug report. The error you got would only have occurred if you had "/usr/src/linux" already defined *and* a directory in /usr/src that was less than 6 characters. My guess is that this existed due to your custom stage3 tarball. Did you have anything out of the ordinary in that stage3 or was it just a downloaded tarball?
This should now be fixed in CVS. Please update using the directions in the FAQ and try again. If you still run into this problem, please reopen the bug. If you can try with debug mode on, that will help diagnose the problem. Thanks!
