You mentioned a couple of errors, like segfaults and decompression errors. Especially that last one sounds like a corruption somewhere.... As these errors happened in a VM, is it possible to copy the virtual harddisk to another host (hardware) and trying again? To be honest: the RAM is my first suspect, but it could very well be an io error on the underlying host. I really doubt that it's caused by the installed software. Mvg, Guus Snijders >
