Hi, I've used Debian for years, and saw the announcement for the Debian Live CD Beta1. So I tried it on my laptop. I downloaded the file debian-live-lenny-i386-xfce-desktop.iso (md5sum of the iso is 3c7ddc96835d983093f9a35d40a96f78) and burned it to a CD and booted that. The laptop is an IBM Thinkpad R50e.
The first time I booted, it booted fine, and the different programs worked well. I noticed a couple problems, though. First of all, there was no net connection. Udev had renamed eth0 to eth1 and there was no entry for eth1 in /etc/network/interfaces. Also, it couldn't mount my USB thumbdrive. So I thought I'd reboot the Live CD to get a clean start for preparing a bugreport. But this time I got a kernel panic on trying to mount the root filesystem. And it wasn't just a transient error. I've tried probably six or eight more times, and it's always the same. Below I've copied what the screen says when it stops. Since I'm copying this by hand, I'm leaving off the times in brackets at the beginning of each line. input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard as /class/input/input0 RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0 RAMDISK: incomplete write (-28 != 32768) 8388608 invalid compressed format (err=2) List of all partitions: 0100 8192 ram0 (driver?) 0101 8192 ram1 (driver?) 0102 8192 ram2 (driver?) 0103 8192 ram3 (driver?) 0104 8192 ram4 (driver?) 0105 8192 ram5 (driver?) 0106 8192 ram6 (driver?) 0107 8192 ram7 (driver?) 0108 8192 ram8 (driver?) 0109 8192 ram9 (driver?) 010a 8192 ram10 (driver?) 010b 8192 ram11 (driver?) 010c 8192 ram12 (driver?) 010d 8192 ram13 (driver?) 010e 8192 ram14 (driver?) 010f 8192 ram15 (driver?)

If there's anything more I can do to help with this issue, let me know. I'm not subscribed to the list, so CC-ing me on any replies would be appreciated!
