Comment 11 for bug 245794

I've been fighting the same issue for several days. I tried different versions (from 8.04 to 8.10), i386 and amd64 architectures, different media etc. I suspected that my farm of CD/DVD drives has been damaged (i got different errors at different stages, this is just one of them), so finally i created bootable live USB flash. As that gave error too, i started searching.

So, removing some memory modules helped.

I had 4 pieces of Kingston KVR800D2N5/1G. Two of them have ELPIDIA chips, two are with Kingston chips. Who would have thought that leaving Kingston chips wouldn't even run X, but leaving ELPIDIA chips would work. I'll probably do full memtest on them, but few initial tests passed.

So, i have log from install failure, i suspect that it's related to SquashFS (full log attached).
I also recall seeing different squashfs errors on booting from CD's.
