I am trying to install 8.1 on a PC (AMD AthlonXP 1700, one IDE drive, one DVD drive, one CD-RW drive) and I get to the point where it wants to display the packages to install. At that point, I get the series of cdrom errors shown in the included dmesg. Sometimes it stops after a few tries and displays the message "An error occurred. No hdlists found" Other times, it just cycles forever as in the attached dmesg.
I have previously installed this version of Mandrake on this machine from these CDs, though with a different monitor. Best guess: do I have a bad CD or a bad CD drive? And what can I do about either? Many thanks, andy
