Complete install fail

I am following the install instructions to the letter...

I can get as far as the bootstrapping, and then the entire process
fails. The errors range from happening in the first 3 minutes to 2
hours into it. I either get "kernel dump errors" or errors dealing
with "invalid inodes". I am trying another install so I can get the
error message(s) exactly...

I tried new RAM, a new hard drive, and a new cd, all with the same
results.

hmmm, as you swapped memory and harddisk it look like the other thing, the CPU that is causing the trouble. Is it overclocked?
Is the weather hotter than normal?. My CPU recently flipped out due to hot weather. Compiling is very CPU intensive, so it may be overloaded.

MAybe try running it on a lower speed for the emerge and than back up to normal for normal operation, although that might cause instability.
The problems don't occur at a certain point as you indicate, so it almost certainly a hardware problem..
