Subject: [newbie] 10 Powerpack CD1 woes (longish)
I got CDs 1-3 (bittorrent worked for me), md5sums checked o.k and then burnt
them from the command line using cdrecord -v speed=2 dev=0,0,0 -eject
/home/(path snipped)/Mandrakelinux-10.0-Community-Powerpack-CD1.i586.iso
CD1 boots to "press enter to install etc" then gives a message "could not
uncompress second stage ramdisk, may be a hardware error or kernel bug"
After pause I get to the select keyboard, then accept licence, then partion,
then to select packages to install.... now the error message "no kernel
available" followed by a string of messages about
/usr/bin/per;-install/pkgs.pm.185 and so on. At this point I can do nothing
except power off.
The problem appears to be caused when I burn the CDs, tried 4 times with
different manufacturers (700mb) media, 2 CD-R & 2 CD-RW and get the output
below.
(I have d/l CD1 iso again and get the same result)
output from cdrecord -
BURN-Free is OFF.

I see it says 615 of 693mb written but when I (in konqueror) go to /mnt, right
click on cdrom and select properties it calculates it as 690.2mb
Why do you have Burn-free set to OFF? It may be that due to read-write errors your disk is not error free but looks like it has all 690.2mb. Set Burn-Free on and try again ?
