 It appears that the cause for the variable success of deployment (and 
 potentially this PR) could be related to the fact that tools (such as tzsetup, 
 dhclient and gunzip) are core dumping during the setup phase. For example, 
 scrolling back on console 2 after a further setup attempt:
 
 pid 50 (dhclient), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped)
 /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: /usr/lib/libwrap.so.6: invalid file format
 ...
 pid 50 (dhclient), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped)
 pid 51 (ifconfig), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped)
 pid 52 (gunzip), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped)
 pid 53 (tzsetup), uid 0: exited on signal 10 (core dumped)
 pid 57 (gunzip), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped)
 
 I have confirmed that the DVD has the correct (MD5 and sha256) checksums - and 
 this host runs other virtual machines with other operating systems without 
 issue, suggesting that there is a reasonable likelihood that the hardware is 
 operating correctly.
