Same here now on a second machine. Tried to install, created new 
partitions including the swap partition and I got the same error. So I 
installed a second time and got it again. But then the third time it 
worked!!! strange. So it's installing now.

Funny on a third machine when I didn't change partitions the install went 
fine.

Also on the first machine when I rebooted after the install I got the same 
UTF8 junk for the label of the swap partition. I'm going to follow your 
advice and reboot. hope it works.
