Hello
I am using both a Tyan S2881 and S2882 motherboard with Opteron Processor.
I have been trying to install the 7.X amd64 snapshot for some time now via A USB attached CD rom,
(same as I always have for 4, 5 and 6) But when using a 7 snapshot disk, the install always borks
at the same place.
I can install the snapshots just fine if I ATA attach to the cd unit, but I cannot if the
CD unit is connected via USB.
The errors are always:
F1 screen
Write failure transfer! (wrote -1 bytes of 1425408 bytes)
F2 screen
....
/stand/gunzip : <fd:0>: too many length or distance symbols
/stand/cpio: premature end of file
F1 Retry:
Write Failure On Transfer
Wrote -1 bytes of 1425408 bytes
/stand/gunzip <fd:0>: invalid code length set
Being able to install via USB is very important to me. It seems a shame 7 would be broken in this
way.
Might anyone know what could be happening? I can swap the disk with a 6.X disk and it ill install
via USB just fine. I also cannot install To a USB attached drive using 7, but I can with 6.
I have tried with the last 3 snapshots up to 200709.
Thanks!
Nicole
