I've never used the network installs and so I've only really had experience with the CDROM based installations. A part of me would say is there a way to try another installation type to prove it's a hardware issue versus simply a problem with the installation process using this method?

Do you happen to have access to a SCSI CDROM or any of the SCSI to SD emulation hardware?

When it comes to the network based set up my bigger concern is that perhaps there happens to be a problem with the files provided?

Just for giggles, using what you have, could you try one of the other OS installations using your current reanimator set up?

While this may not conclusively prove anything, if the rest of them happen to work then you might be able to indicate which files are damaged or otherwise incorrect in the 6.5.22 install. Can you try just base 6.5? Can you also try just 5.3 if 6.5 fails?


Do either of these return exactly the same problem?
