I just tried the June 19th jigdo DVD. Same problem.
I was able to save the syslog file from the install by going to the
<alt>-F2 screen and doing
cp /var/log/syslog /target/var/log/installsyslog
Looing in the saved syslog later, it appears to be a problem with
the busybox "sort" command. A sample of one of the repetitions is
attached.
