The alt one you posted (link is a little squirrely)seems to have made it through the script. There was one error "zeroing hda3": /bin/cat: write error: No space left on device Not sure if that was normal or not, just sounds like it wrote to the end.
Do you think the problem is related to the empeg-flash driver? Seems like something is being loaded that is bigger than normal and causing an issue with this SSD on a 12MB player.
