[Solved] Package Preparation Failed

Alright, the issue I'm having is that when I select packages during the installation I get an error, "pacman preparation failed check /dev/tty7 for errors". At first I thought it was a network problem; but, I can ping www.google.com and everything else on the network seems fine. Any help is really appreciated, thanks!

I'm trying to do a net installation on a 320gb wd SATA hdd. I can provide any other info you require as well.

Edit: I apologize, I went back to check the error and it installed fine this morning. The only thing different was that I installed over an Ubuntu partition instead of an OpenSuse one.
