Bug#1056998: cdrom: Installation media changes after booting it

Hi,

trying to get our mails in sync again. We seem to have reached consensus
in our understanding of the problem.

This explains the MS-Windows file.

So the Thinkpad firmwares are exonerated.

This suspect can be considered to have confessed.

As for a better message from Integrity Check:

I find in the ISO in file /install.amd/initrd.gz the lines:
  "The file ${FILE} failed the MD5 checksum verification. Your installation"
  "media or this file may have been corrupted."

But i failed to find these texts in debian-cd or debian-installer
Even searching for just "corrupted" yields only a remark in debian-cd.

Does any of the bystanders know from what package this message text stems ?


Have a nice day :)
