Comments/Problems:
=20
When trying to install, the following symptom would occur: after
mounting the ramdisk, a few seconds afterwards an "attempt to write past
end of device" error occurs. The image is unpacked incorrectly and the
system enters a loop of failing to load a module.
This is worked around by changing the boot parameter to use a
larger-sized ramdisk. The default ramdisk size is 16384k which is simply
not enough. I used 65536 and it worked. I can check 32m if needed.
After making this change, the installation worked flawlessly.
I have no logs to attached from the failed installation, I'm afraid, as
they've been overwritten by logs from the successful installation.
