Install failed: base archive not found

Hi,

Today i downloaded the Free Home Edition & tried to install it. After creating the file systems the installation fails. Any clues to get this problem solved would be helpful.

FYI, you can also try burning the disc at the slowest speed.

Same problem here.

I tried these available images.
asg-8.001-20.1.iso
asg-8.002-19.1.iso
latest_asg_v8_software.iso
(All MD5's check out)

Tried installing them in both 32bit and 64 bit

I also tried burning them on a win7 machine and an Ubuntu machine, with different burning software and different speeds...

No luck yet.

When I look at the log file is says:
START screen 'inst_base'
/install/install/install.tar: No such file or directory
ERROR: The base archive wasn't found on the installation media
...

I know Backtrack Linux has the same issue with burning speeds, but the burner and software that worked for Backtrack, doesn't work for Astaro.

Any other ideas?
