[8.050][BUG][OPEN] Install.tar missing during install

More randomness with the 8.050 install;  I randomly get the message "Install.tar wasn't found on the installation media" ... looking at the log, the message is /install/install/install.tar: No such file or directory.

I've tried multiple CD burns (using the same burner that produces working 8.002 Disks, etc.), downloaded the ISO twice, etc.  still it's a random chance as to whether the package copy completes successfully.  I am using a USB CDROM Drive; thinking that maybe the drive was going bad, I even purchased a new, different one.  The issues persist.  Everything works great, and is predictable, with the 8.002 ISO.

  • The fact that it does intermittently install when just hitting Enter at the boot prompt is the issue  ...  I think we need to get to the bottom of why it crashes intermittently (I'm having more than just this issue with this new ISO).  Why would I need classic now when before it was not needed (Versions 8.000, 8.001, and 8.002)? This is pointing at a larger problem.  I'll wait to see what Astaro has to say about it.  Thanks again for the input.
