I figured I'd take the easy way out and swap out with the drive that booted the livecd successfully on my living room pc. SAME RESULT!!!! (invalid loop location) AAAAHHHHHH!!!! :hissy:
So it has to be my mobo chipset (amd 785G)...right?
AND...it does lock up the keyboard upon the error. I can't use the keyboard and I'm forced to reboot. So...I can't attempt any console commands.
**edit** switching out to a PS keyboard allows the keyboard to function after the error.
attached are the same log files as before, but these were taken after hooking up the DVD drive that worked previously on another PC....and a PS2 keyboard attached:

Just in case, try booting with -nomsi, it's one of the options in grub menu.

just tried both -nomsi options but same result as before. I've tried to research the invalid loop location error, but it's been spotty. Some got it to work by swapping dvd/cd drives, some like me, weren't successful.

Had a thought an wondered what you guys think:
If I take my hard drive from the cab and temporarily move it to the pc that the live cd worked with.
Can I do the install from that pc and move the hard drive back to my cab afterward? I didn't know if the hard drive install created a hardware config that would conflict when switching to different hardware...??

You might have to go through setup again on the other system and redo the video config, I think, depending on if the pci bus looks different (from how the xorg.conf is created). Go for it and see how it works, I'm thinking it sounds like it should work. The only thing I've come up with as a possibility to fix the cdrom issue is the genkernel version I'm using to build the kernel. Not for sure, but it's probably the only thing that could be a reason if it's not the linux kernel itself breaking things between the two versions. I had to change genkernel's setup to make it work for 3.0.0, possibly the actual updated one for 3.0.0 has something I missed. Just a guess though, thinking that maybe there's a difference like scsi based or something like that, between the two systems motherboards. Then based on that, possibly the genkernel isn't loading all the modules needed for some reason to get that motherboard to see the cdrom or ide/sata/scsi bus (possibly that specific version) or whatever kind it is.
