I have a system with 4 drives in it and I’m trying to install it on one of the empty drives so I can dual boot between Snow and Lion for the time being. Unfortunately, the install fails every time. The error is a little different each time, but it seems to do with updating system extensions or some kind of filesystem locking.

I understand this list is not really for troubleshooting this type of thing, so I would be happy to take any conversations about it offline if any of you are out there. I’m just reaching out for help at this point.
