Have you tried any of the options such as text install? It looks as
if your system is rebooting without having written grub to the mbr. I
wonder has X started before the reboot? How much stuff was installed?
is it possible you are filling up the partition(s) which causes the reboot?
Did you try a rescue boot? Can the rescue find the aborted install.
Can you use grub to find the install log in /root?
