During installation on a 3rd party webserver, I received this error:
running "phpinfo()" on that server gave me a listing with apparently valid session settings:Checking if sessions are properly configured: Failed!

I went to eat dinner, and when I came back I started the installation by running:
"http://www.myhost.com/modx/install/"
and it worked. I'm sorry that I haven't found a solid solution, but 2 things could have solved this:
1) waiting... and trying again.
2) calling the installation URL differently.
Anyway, this correlates with other informations I found for this problem:
