I ran into similar problems when I used the boot.iso a day later than I 
downloaded the image. Also, I have had errors when getting the image 
from one mirror, then trying to install from another mirror. (either 
mirrors were ahead or behind each other)

You having 64 bit install problems, I am not sure what the state of 
boot.iso and 64 bit directories are.
