Ever so rarely, while the boot image is uncompressings, it returns a crc error and the system halts. I guess this is probably some problem with reading from the disk or transfers from RAM or something. Can anyone explain this in detail. I know how compression works and specifically how gzip works, I also know how the boot image loads so no need to explain these things in detail.
