error in exec of stage2 :-( trying to execute '/usr/bin/runinstall2' from the installation volume, the following fatal error occurred FATAL ERROR IN STAGE1: I/0 error I can't recover from this. You may reboot your system.
I tried reburning the CD from the ISO and tried
installing on a different computer (both are Compaqs).
I'm going to guess the ISO is bad and I need to
download it again. But I'd like to make sure here. Any suggestions? I for the ISO from the secsup mirror
if that matters...
To check the iso's download the md5sum file from the ftp site, I dont remember how to use the file but it checks the iso's to verify proper size and stuff. I had the same problem but i got hold of a bad batch of cheap cd's (dont buy cheap cd's they suck) and i had only three out of 20 that were any good.

Before you download the ISO again, do this, test iso ======== cd to directory iso file
md5sum isofilename.iso
5a2d86513cdd302bfe546a5463312dd21f32c isofilename.iso
The 32-digit hex number is a unique hash based on the data in the file.
Then burn to CD in the usual way.
Then , test1 burnt cd ============= You can also check the MD5 hash of the resulting CD-ROM.
ls -ls <isofilename>.iso to find the filesize, in bytes, of the ISO image
Divide that by 2048 to find the number of sectors:(xxxxxx)
Put the CD into a drive but don't mount it.
dd if=/dev/(x) bs=2048 count=(xxxxxx) | md5sum -
where (x) is your device(eg. hdc, or scd0), where (xxxxxx) is the number of sectors
They should agree.If they do you have good ISO's and CD's
