What do you mean by not booting? - Does the BIOS boots the DVD ? do you get the openSUSE 10.3 boot options? - Or select the install option and the boot process does not complete? > I also try to burn a new DVD with 10.3 in case that somethink goes wrong > with the first one (actualy now i have four copies of it but no one is > working). > I also try to burn a new copy of 10.2 DVD to check if somethink is wrong > with k3b but this one is working.

I mean that when i start the computer with dvd in the computer boot from hard disk, no boot options. But when i put the dvd with the 10.2 it gives me the boot options.

No one is my case, because the computer can boot with 10.2 dvd and because i wrote the 10.2 dvd with the same procedure.

Check the md5 checksum of the iso you downloaded, to be sure you have the right stuff. Then try to burn again, maybe the media was bad. Or, you can do: dd if=/dev/dvd of=myimage.iso. This will try to read the whole media. Then you can make a md5 checksum of myimage.iso and see if it is the same.

That leaves only one possibility that I can think of. A defective read on the DVD. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
