Unable to install

I am having a problem, and am completely stumped.

On multuple systems, including a Acer Aspire 3830TG, which I have been able to install arch on before, and an Optiplex 745. I have tried multiple disks, and ISOs, some pre April 2012, and after, and the latest as well. On EVERY install on both machines I get random errors whenever I try using pacstrap on postAprils, and the Arch install scripts on preAprils, I get Kernel crashes, and Segfaults with every single install. I have updated the BIOS on both machines, and reset it to factory for each.

This is the weirdest thing. On both systems I cannot install Arch, Archbang, Ubuntu, or CentOS.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Re: Unable to install

You should be using 2013.09.01 Arch ISO.  Are you?  Have you compared the checksums to make sure you got a good copy?  What is your hardware?  Graphics card?  Amount of memory?  32 or 64 bit install?
