That looks like a sound driver problem from here (Kmixer is the kernel audio
mixer)

Questions
Why are you reinstalling?
How are you reinstalling? - clean or OTT? - from the HD, or the CD?
Did you remember to disable your AV, and the BIOS protection?

Try disabling your sound card/chip and rebooting - with any luck it'll
complete the install, and you can then worry about the drivers and card.

I am having trouble reinstalling ME on a compaq
computer. First thing I did was Format c:. Then after a
couple tries at a regular install I defaulted to the
extract all .CAB files and run setup /c. Doing this
everything went fine until the last 13 minutes of the
install. During the driver setup portion there was one
error cmdninst caused an error in kernell32.dll. I
thought this was likely my ethernet card, I always have
to install that driver manually after install. But then
when install got to the system configuration it kept
erroring and writing errors to the log. Now I've got an
error message I cannot seem to pass (it keeps coming back
everytime I restart, haven't finished install yet) BSOD
says File Name: kmixer (01) +00009066 Error:
00:0028:FF180CE6. Any advice would be appreciated. Can
I somehow run the system configuration again outside the
setup routine?
