This indicates either a bad CD or CDROM drive. Before running the installation
did you try verifying the CD? Unfortunately a bad CDROM can lead to weird
errors that are sometimes unrelated to what's actually at fault.
My next suggestion would be to boot into rescue mode to run mkswap. The
swap-space signature error means that mkswap was not run.
