An error occored while setting up swap.
Some messages frrom mkswap: user/local/bin/knx-hdinstall: line 621:/sbin/mkswap Input/Output error.

While partitioning did you set the type (for the swap partition) to 82 (or whichever Linux Swap is, I think that's it)? I made that mistake at first...

Are you using knoppix-installer? Looks like you're using the old installer similarly named knx-hdinstall. What did you use to partition the drive? m I like cfdisk myself but Qtparted also seems to be pretty popular.
