Did you run mediacheck on that CD? If it passes, can you repeat this crash (at the same point of installation)? Are you 100% sure your RAM isn't flaky? Can you repeat this if you let DD auto-partition your drive (yes, I'm aware you don't agree with DD regarding partition, we're just trying to reproduce the crash at this point)? > Like I said, DD boggles the mind. What do I do next? You bypassed DD, remember? Emmanuel
