If 10-1 lower won't install then likely you are the owner of a spd8020 with small system partitions. Those versions have system partitions which are too small for the newer version and can contain max 100 MB. The newest version is an image of 200 MB and the system partitions should be 256 MB
To find out if this is your problem connect to the spd8020 using putty
user: root
password: giveit2me
then type on the command line fdisk /dev/sda
and then "p" after the command line of fdisk, this will show the partition table of the disk
Post the result here.
if it is a small partition version then there is no other way to install fvdw-sl versions above 3-0 then taking out the hard disk and repartition it.
On such a system fvdw3-0 could run and installed without taking out the HDD, but further upgrades will be impossible. I attached it for you so can try but be aware that it has still limited features but more then the standard Philips firmware and not all fixes of later versions.

below the output of fdisk on a normal spd8020 with a 1 TB disk
Important are the sizes of sda1 and sda2
- Code: Select all
root@SPD8020:/ # fdisk /dev/sda
The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 121601.
There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
(e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)
