Is it possible to finish the installation without installing SILO, then boot
your installation using a boot disk and then try what I suggested?
It seems you have a duff package set with the wrong version of either SILO or
glibc. You could try contacting whoever it is that distributes the mini-ISO
image and see if they can replicate & fix the problem.
If possible it might be an idea to try an official full ISO image - at least
it is (almost) guaranteed to work.
