    Installation hangs (debian/Ubuntu)



    I am trying to reinstall Debian on a Sun Netra X1 server. The problem is, when I get to the "install base system" portion, the installer gets to about 6% and then it hangs.

    I have to power off the server and then start over again. Sometimes I will also get a "file corrupt" error. I have checked the CD-ROM, but it checks out. I have re-burnt the CD, and I have even tried a version of Ubuntu server, same results. In addition I have tried a different CD-ROM drive, but I get the same results.

    Any ideas?

    I got it figured out.

    I had purchased some "budget" memory for the server (since it only came with 128MB). You get what you pay for, because it seems the new memory was causing the install to hang.

    I removed all of the memory except the origional Sun memory, and all was good. After that I am able to use the server just fine with the new memory installed.
