Just out of my mind, I did not check:

If you are using a keybord and a monitor attached to the machine you try to 
install, you can switch to a text console / shell via ALT-F1 or ALT-F2. 
Somewhere on your disk you should find the configuration file named 
silo.conf. After installation, it's in /boot, but I don't know by mind where 
the disk is mounted during installation.

I would check this file (does  it look reasonable?). Then run silo manually 
(chroot into the system? ). Hopefully, you will get better error messages.

If you are using a serial console: no idea.
