After installing a 'non-buggy' version suggested here I have started getting this failure: here's the log. Thanks.

Hi boytool Just to add to Gwen's post - try doing a full erase (not quick)of the rw disc you're using since it is not able to format the disc. If that fails then you'll need to try a 'fresh' disc.
