same behaviour on a older HP evo W4000 workstation but his time with some more infos:

Damn it, I found out what the real problem is.

To download the disc image I had to use a old workstation with a wget tool unable to get files over 2n32 bits...

So my ISO image was incomplete, sorry about this one
