The install fails with the following: RAMDISK: incomplete write (-28 !=32768) 8388608 RAMDISK: ran out of compressed data invalid compressed format (err=1) Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to moutn root fs on unknown-bluck(1,0) <0>Rebooting in 180 seconds.. I have tried this with both the Ubuntu 6.06-desktop-powerpc and the Ubuntu 6.06 alternate-desktop-powerpc images. Can anyone give me some direction on how to resolve this?
