Re: [Cooker] Serious problems installing 9.0
I have discovered that the error messages start after the installation of the
packages. Something with a USB-storage kernel module. I don't have a
USB-storage-device. After that there are lots of "no such file or directory" errors.

If you burn the CDs using -dao (disk at once) then you can do an md5sum directly on the CD device: md5sum /dev/cdrom The two checksums must match exactly. -- Ron.

[Cooker] Serious problems installing 9.0
Hi, I posted the following message to alt.os.linux.mandrake. Mdk 9.0 will not install on my box, very many errors: On Mon, 30 Sep 2002 12:23:58 -0700, Alan Murrell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > that once it gets past the first CD, it has trouble installing the rest of > the packages (it got to the 'linc' package, and after that, a box would come > up saying it had trouble installing such-and-such package, and did I want to > continue, etc.) I have similar problems with installing 9.0. I have downloaded all three isos and checked them with md5sum, they were OK. I burnt them on CDR. After the failed install I redownloaded the first iso and burnt it on a different brand CDR. I did the install from 2 different CDROM-Drives, text, expert vgalo, and normal install. So, I'm pretty sure the iso's weren't corrupt or the CDR's bad.I have installed 8.2 afterwards, no problem with that. So I don't think it's my hardware. This is what happened: After package selection, the first error to pop up was that something went wrong installing the XFree86 RPM, would I like to continue ? I clicked yes, and all three CD's were installed. Then I got to the printer setup and the installer tried to install some printer-related packages, and all of them gave the same error as with the XFree RPM. I clicked through the error and test-printing did not work. After the printer-setup-stuff I had to configure the services, but no services were there to be activated, just an empty setup screen with 0 services. Then I got on to install the bootloader, the first message was: mkinitrd failed. I tried to setup grub, knowing that there would be no initial ramdisk, so the system would be unable to boot. X-Configuration was skipped automatically, however I definitely selected X during package selection. Then I rebooted, and I got the grub-prompt, no graphical selection screen, only the grub-prompt. I could not do anything with this, and was unable to boot the system. Had to boot with my ramlinux-rescue-floppy and copied the install logs to floppy. When I examined the partition with the fresh install, I discovered that the XFree and mkinitrd packages were installed, so why the errors during install ? I also tried installing from Windoze. when I ran autostart and clicked install Mandrake nothing at all happened. Is this the new "killer" from Mandrake? I have never had so much trouble installing Mandrake, from 6.2 on. The only redeeming feature here is that my partitions were not trashed, which happened to my DOS partition while installing 8.0. Is there a possibility GTK 2 is backported to 8.2 ? I need the new ROX RPMS, so I can build some other ROX-related RPMS. I think I have to stick with 8.2, which is really bad, because I cannot build RPMS for 9.0 now.
