umount: /target/dev/pts: No such file or directory
umount: /target/dev/shm: No such file or directory
umount: /target/proc/bus/usb: Invalid argument
I tried several times the install, and I noticed that using linux26
all is ok.
Using expert26 generates the error, always the same error.
I always selected the default choices (apart location, that is Europe/Italy),
so I suppose the error does not deped from different choices between
normal and expert mode.
Network was correctly configured with DHCP (no default route, but I do not
need it because I have all the debs files in my host computer).
I correctly verified the iso file integrity.
I kept the vmware installation directory with the disk-file and the RAM
(I suspended the machine), so I can give you all if you need (140 MB tgz file).
At your disposal for further tests: simply email me if you need!
