Disabled multiple CPU cores in BIOS and the install succeeds. Was able to boot into installed system after reenabling multiple cores without issue (so far).

Marking as confirmed, this should help a developper take a look at the solution you found. Thanks for this, and if you have to report again on a crash with the installer, please ATTACH /var/log/installer/syslog, /var/log/syslog and /var/log/partman. If you are ready to reinstall the system with the BIOS option causing the bug, and attached these, it would be cool. But if you don't feel like reinstalling that's fine too.

I experienced this bug as well, on a dual core system with both cores enabled. I've attached my syslog and partman logs to bug 67221. There was not a /var/log/installer/syslog present on my system.

This particular error is due to a faulty CD/DVD disk or drive. It may help to clean the CD/DVD, to burn the CD/DVD at a lower speed, or to clean the CD/DVD drive lens (cleaning kits are often available from electronics suppliers).
