Now I find that the Sabayon as well as the Debian DVD1 isos throw an 'Input/Output Error' and after that the link between the system and my HDD appears to be lost as no command is accepted and the system as well as the display goes for a toss. With CD isos this does not happen. Any similar experiences, suggestions?
Usually, this is a sign of HDD problems.
How does one confirm this? badblocks? Any better tools? smartd?
