Did you do the Media Check at the beginning of the install? This is
specially relevant if you burned the DVD yourself from a downloaded iso. I
have found on several occasions that burning a DVD too fast succeeds
according to K3B but then fails to install. Burning slowly (x8) was the
answer.

I did the media check. I had to disable that driver, and then it
worked.
