Thanks. "2 GB minimum (text-mode install)" What the hell? That's systemd for you ;-) I suspect this was someone being lazy and trying it on the smallest machine they had, and calling that the minimum. It will be interesting to find out when I can stop it faulting. I remember upgrading to 32Mb to run FreeBSD 4 and thinking it was getting out of hand. IIRC Unix Version 7 ran in 64K (although 128K was better). But seriously, this is crashing out on the bootloader as far as I can tell so unless the bootloader is written in Python or something, that's probably not the reason for the crash. It also borks on Hyper-V and I was speaking to some penguin enthusiast today and reckons his company has had trouble installing newer releases of Rocky. I may have to burn a CD-ROM and see if I can find a server with an actual CD drive. I think I have a few left. Regards, Frank.
