"cannot execute binary file" while installing from USB device

Hi,

I've tried the procedure described at: http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Install_from_USB_Stick a couple of times with no success.

The system boots but after the first booting, when the installation starts, it aborts with a message of "cannot execute binary file". It happens when the installation script calls a command -I don't remember it right now- from /usr/bin. I've tried the comand manually and got the same error, I've also tried a few more commands from /usr/bin with the same result.

I thought it was because my CPU was not 64 bit capable (but it is, it's a core I3), but I tried burning a CD with the very ISO I used with my pendrive and it worked like a charm.

I puzzles me not having found any reference to this problem on the net, I really don't like burning CDs nor booting them so I'm going to investigate a little more and I would be grateful if someone gave me a clue to make it work.

Greetings from Spain.
Juan María.

Problem solved!

I've tried with a pendrive of a different brand and it has installed.

I wonder what can make a determinate model of pendrive readable and writeable but not executable.
