Summary: Could not uncompress second state ramdisk.
Version: 1.800
Platform: PC
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: critical
Priority: P2
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
When trying to install 9.1 RC1, I get the following error and then the
computer just freezes:
"Could not uncompress second state ramdisk. This is probably a
hardware error while reading the data. (This may be caused by a hardware
failure or a Linux Kernel bug)"
The log window shows:
* trying to load /tmp/image/Mandrake/base/mdinst_state2.bz2 as a ramdisk
* reading compressed ramdisk: IO_ERROR
* unsetting automatic
The kernel messages show:
<6> end_request: I/O error, dev 03:40 (hdb), sector 1148956
<4> hdb: status timeout: status=0xc0 (Busy)
<4> hdb: status timeout: status=0x00

This computer has an ASUS A7N8X motherboard with the integrated
NVIDIA nForce 2 chipset. It also has an AMD XP 2000 CPU.
BTW, I get the same errors when trying to install Mandrake 9.0.
I currently have Mandrake 8.1 installed
but I installed it on my drive using a different computer.
