Interesting this happened on two different ROMs. Which recovery are you running?
How are you downloading the ROM, on a PC then placing it on your SD? Edit: I'd suggest downloading it straight to your phone from your phone's browser, then moving it from the "download" folder to the root of your sd card using Astro or whatever your preferred file exploring app happens to be.
I haven't hears of anyone having this sort of problem with skyraider...it should be pretty straightforward.
Are you getting any odd messages during the actual flash?
I'm putting it on the root of my SD, then booting into recovery.
It finally went past that, after it boot looped about 3 times and the spinning harly davidson looking sign was lagging and freezing up.
The i flashed incridkernel for froyo, and that screwed everything up, the top bar was distorted and stuff.
So i flashed cyanogenmod, it bootlooped a few times then finally booted. restored my apps and everything, and during that time if i tried to do anything it would freeze and fast reboot. it would do that constantly.
Right now im back to 100% stock, no root. I want to put a new rom on my phone, but i really like the stock look. Basically i want to be able to over clock wit a stockish rom. I don't really like cyanogenmods look, but i love their battery percentage. What should i do/try?
And during flash, everything goes smooth as silk..
And i tried the fix permission in rom manager to no avail during CM.
