I post this here not a certain fix, but perhaps another road to go down. A friend and co-worker of mine was having problems installing Debian as well. He was getting CRC errors on package installs. He reduced the clock speed of the SD card down to something like only 10% of it's original speed and the install finally worked. I didn't get from him how he lowered the clock speed of the card, but finding the right place /sys involved something like "find /sys | grep clock". Maybe this could help someone.
