Base System Installation Checklist:

Initial boot worked: [O]
Configure network HW: [O]
Config network: [O]
Detect CD: [O]
Load installer modules: [O]
Detect hard drives: [O]
Partition hard drives: [O]
Create file systems: [O]
Mount partitions: [O]
Install base system: [O]
Install boot loader: [O]
Reboot: [e]
[O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it

Comments/Problems:
For this hardware sym53c8xx module does not work. Instead one must use ncr53c8xx.
Reboot after install failed because initrd loads only sym53c8xx. Easy to
fix from shell
before first reboot, but you might consider modifying initrd to load both. Snippet from my dmesg:
...
SCSI subsystem driver Revision: 1.00
sym53c8xx: at PCI bus 0, device 6, function 0
sym53c8xx: not initializing, device not supported
SCSI subsystem driver Revision: 1.00
ncr53c8xx: at PCI bus 0, device 6, function 0
ncr53c8xx: 53c810 detected
ncr53c810-0: rev 0x2 on pci bus 0 device 6 function 0 irq 11
...

Please also provide the output of lspci -n, which is needed to fix which module is being loaded for this device
