Have you tried installing in text mode?

linux text

The installation through the text installer requires tabbing to fields 
and the ok button. It still allows you to install the GUI stuff when you 
get done. I'm not sure what /sbin/loader is, but it stopped at that 
point for me. When I reverted to text mode, it did not have the same 
problem.

This might allow you to install or you could still get the problem. 
Others might know more regarding the gigabyte motherboards.
