This could be due to bad hardware, bad disk or even a driver issue. The read errors can lead to unexpected result. I would be great if you burn an image on a cd-recorder /disc known to work properly and verify if the burned cd is properly written/read before installing. You can also use a daily image with a newer kernel, those are available on: http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/daily/arch-latest/i386/iso-cd/ Also Debian 6.0 got an update: http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/6.0.1a/i386/iso-cd/ -- Melhores cumprimentos/Best regards, Miguel Figueiredo http://www.DebianPT.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
