It's getting stranger. I just did a fresh install from the 20071222
image (from which I've done a succesfull install on the same machine
and disk before), and it gives me the same error.

Two things that I haven't mentioned before and that may be relevant are these:

1. I zeroed the target harddisk before installation like this: "dd -if
/dev/zero -of /dev/sdC1/data".
2. I also accidentally did this first when I really meant to zero the
disk: "dd -if /dev/zero -f /dev/sdC1/raw".

Does anyone know if either of these (specifically number 2) could have
caused my issue? I'm not sure what (if anything) number two did.

Greetings, Sander.
