It would certainly help if you mentioned all the hardware your involved with. 
A copy of the output from dmesg (then again, if you can't login, I guess you 
can't do that either).

Anyways - when you are promted for the root password on install, please make 
certain that your caps key isnt on etc. Unix IS case sensitive. And we'll 
also assume you are logging in as root.
