So you got problems in 2nd stage with 2.6 packages downloading. Did you use a mirror listed in [1]? It's not necessarily a problem on your side. It could also be an archive problem (perhaps a missing package), but I didn't hear anything like that on the lists. Could you check your /var/log/* files for errors too?
