Hi all, It turns out it was just bad RAM. I ran memtest and saw lots of errors. Thanks everybody for the help! I've attached instructions for how to install CRUX on the SBC. Maybe it will be useful for somebody in the future (I think a lot of physicists use CRUX for these single board computers). Thanks!

Hi,
I'm trying to install CRUX 2.7.1 on a Pentium 3 single board computer with 512 MB of RAM. The data sheet for the SBC is here: https://www.surplussales.com/computeraccess/pdf/eqp-vmivme-7648-740.pdf.
I'm booting from a CD ROM and after I get to the "boot: " prompt and hit enter everything goes OK until I get to:
* Copying files from squashfs
at which point everything goes haywire. Sometimes I get "cp: read error" messages, sometimes it segfaults, but I've never been able to get past this point.
I should mention that the only hard drive on the machine is an 8 GB compact flash card, I don't know if that's relevant.
Any ideas on whether I might be able to get this to work or not?
Thanks,

Media sounds defective. compare the md5sum from the meda and the iso, you might want to use https://crux.ninja/ that has a crux 3.2 32bit iso.
