Sorry about this post splittik.

I just gave a longish description on raw copying over the LiveCDs' ram image, but then realised that your not getting it to boot that far. So my comments would be useless. So i removed the post.

Have you checked for corruption with the iso itself ?, md5sum on the dload, or burning issues ?

You might be able to mount a pre-formated partition of size and try mounting as an iso fs, using the "loop" device, from one of your other installs. But if the iso itself is at issue, the same problem will likely arise there as well.
