installation is failing

Hi everyone!

I was just trying to install debian on a sheevaplug onto a 4gb sd card. But
the installation always fails in the middle of installing the base system.

I followed Martins Howto:
http://www.cyrius.com/debian/kirkwood/sheevaplug/install.html (btw thank you
for your work)

The messages I get are:

Warning: http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/m/man-db/man-
db_2.5.6-3_armel.deb was corrupt

Warning: Couldn't download package manpages

Warning: Couldn't download package mawk
....

I was trying with different mirrors but all gave the same errors.

Does anyone have a clue what the problem could be?

Thanks in advance!
Alexander Ganster

Can you make /var/log/syslog from the installer available when this
happens as well as the output of "dmesg".

Have you tried with another SD card or with a USB stick?
