It was apparently the Nforce motherboard drivers. (Audio, Ethernet, IDE,
GART, and some sort of memory controller)

I used nLite to replace the drivers, and installed (successfully) onto a
different partition, without the snap, crackle, reboot problem.

I think it's related to the same problem some people have had with drivers
being (incorrectly) replaced because the signing wasn't completely correct,
but I couldn't swear to this.
