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, Tony
Hello, 1.where'd you get this hardware? 2.what's your install proceedure? what filesystem type are you putting on that CF card? On Fri, Jul 1, 2016 at 12:49 PM, Anthony LaTorre <tlatorre@uchicago.edu> wrote:

It's hardware that is used in the lab I work in.

I haven't even gotten to that point. The installation fails before I get to a prompt to format the drive.

The media and/or drive are probably defective. You could also set up the necessary tools to install through the network.
