I am trying to do a headless install of Snow Leopard Xserver on a dual 3.0ghz intel Xserve. This Is my first time setting up an Xserve. I am using an OS of Snow Leopard Xserver which came with a Mac mini server. I am not able to install. I keep being put in a loop. The Following is what I am doing to install:

1) Assistance

2) Click install Mac OS X server remotely

3) Destination 192.168.1.101 plus 8 digit serial #

4) Install Language - English

5) Software licence - agree

6) Target Disk - click on Server HD
Installing progress window come up. Instead of installing , I get message "An error occurred while installing. Your server is being restarted. Window has yellow triangle icon when error message appears. The little yellow light on my Xserve also blink yellow rapidly.

7) I than click on 'more option' at the bottom of error window. I am put in a loop and taken back to step 2.

I've been scraping my knuckles on the floor for a good part of the day and night yesterday, and up to this current time. Will someone pppppplease help me solve this situation? It very irritating.
