Can you tell us exactly how you burned them? The exact command line? I'd check the checksums of both the image and the two media. Mount the image or media, then CD into its root, and run md5sum. E.g. for the image: -------------------------------------------------- root@hawk:/opt# cd /crc/isos/debian/10.x/ root@hawk:/crc/isos/debian/10.x# ll total 5874964 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 May 29 14:58 ./ drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Oct 22 2019 ../ ... -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 447741952 May 9 07:34 debian-10.4.0-i386-netinst.iso -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 97 May 29 14:58 debian-10.4.0-i386-netinst.sha256sums -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 161 May 29 14:57 debian-10.4.0-i386-netinst.sha512sums ... root@hawk:/crc/isos/debian/10.x# mkdir loop root@hawk:/crc/isos/debian/10.x# mount debian-10.4.0-i386-netinst.iso loop mount: /crc/isos/debian/10.x/loop: WARNING: device write-protected, mounted read-only. root@hawk:/crc/isos/debian/10.x# ll loop/ total 984 dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 4096 May 9 06:00 ./ drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Sep 18 10:43 ../ -r--r--r-- 1 root root 146 May 9 06:00 autorun.inf dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 2048 May 9 06:00 boot/ dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 2048 May 9 05:59 css/ lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 1 May 9 05:59 debian -> ./ dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 2048 May 9 06:00 .disk/ dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 2048 May 9 05:59 dists/ dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 2048 May 9 05:59 doc/ dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 2048 May 9 06:00 EFI/ dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 2048 May 9 06:00 firmware/ -r--r--r-- 1 root root 183847 May 4 13:14 g2ldr -r--r--r-- 1 root root 8192 May 4 13:14 g2ldr.mbr dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 2048 May 9 05:59 install/ dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 2048 May 9 06:00 install.386/ dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 6144 May 9 06:00 isolinux/ -r--r--r-- 1 root root 89725 May 9 06:00 md5sum.txt dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 4096 May 9 05:59 pics/ dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 2048 May 9 06:00 pool/ -r--r--r-- 1 root root 8496 May 9 06:00 README.html -r--r--r-- 1 root root 291 Mar 4 2017 README.mirrors.html -r--r--r-- 1 root root 86 Mar 4 2017 README.mirrors.txt -r--r--r-- 1 root root 543 May 9 06:00 README.source -r--r--r-- 1 root root 5107 May 9 06:00 README.txt -r--r--r-- 1 root root 666591 May 4 13:14 setup.exe dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 2048 May 9 05:59 tools/ -r--r--r-- 1 root root 228 May 9 06:00 win32-loader.ini root@hawk:/crc/isos/debian/10.x# cd loop root@hawk:/crc/isos/debian/10.x/loop# md5sum --q -c md5sum.txt root@hawk:/crc/isos/debian/10.x/loop# echo $? 0 root@hawk:/crc/isos/debian/10.x/loop# -------------------------------------------------- cd out and umount afterward.
