The VERY minimal install is a good idea. It's worked for me also.
None of these packages (cxref, esound-common, docbook) would be
included in a minimal system. I suspect the problem has nothing to do
with any of them, but if you can get a small system functional,
hopefully you will be able to capture the error messages when you do
reach the point of failure.
