Honestly, this kind of error sounds like a disk problem, or something
weird like the swap partition overlaps the ext3 filesystem you're
having a problem with.  I used to see this often in the past but not
with modern installers.

Since both of these installs are clean, do start fresh with a newly
partitioned disk each time, or are you using the existing partitions? 

I know you didn't mention it, but did you enable the encrypted disk
support?
