I'm tring to install debian on the Thecus N2100 using the instructions from
http://www.cyrius.com/debian/iop/n2100/ however when formatting the partitions
the bar goes up to 33% (I know it can take ages for the bar to update) as
expected however for some reason after a few minutes hard disk activity stops
and eventually the network connection is dropped. It seems someone had a
similar problem here

. I've tried raid non raid single and dual drives, manual and guided setup and
it always fails. I've also tried the ssh connection via putty and via linux
terminal. I thought it was hardware problem so bought another one with new
drivers etc and still the problem exists.
Anyone got any ideas what could be going on?
