Re: [Cooker] Problems installing 8.2 beta 4
Mike try downloading from another mirror, I found on the swedish site cello.se cd 2 on beta 3 must have been corrupted, the file size was correct on download, but during a burn it always stopped about half way through the write cycle,. A second download from the same site gave the same, downloading from another site cured it...maybe worth a try??

Had this occasionally with 7.1 and I think 8.0 on some older machines. Generally the CD-ROM was too cheap (died when run in DA mode, I'm pretty sure boot is done in polled mode), if there is a kernel option for polled-mode CD operation, try that (F1 from the penguin screen, give elaborate LILO command); and also on one new Dell (or maybe it was Compaq?) where the CD-ROM was cable-select. Manually selecting it worked fine. Does console 3 or 4 show you any errors? Cheers; Leon
Re: [Cooker] Problems installing 8.2 beta 4
Mike--- I suggest you burn another CD, as it looks like that one has a bad spot where it is trying to access that bit of information. I suggest you burn it at a slower speed, possibly half the speed from your first one. It may be that brand of CD-R as Warly also suggested. Warly suggested that you do that because of the error information you submitted. --Bill === Mike Eheler wrote: >>1. burn a new CD >> > >Pointless.

the fifth option is the one that I would never expect from a Mandrake developer. How do you want to make this distro rock and solid if the people don't test?!?!?
