I have been following the "Corrupted files -RPM" thread, and trying some of the suggestions there, with no success.
I have the Freq 20010619 CDs, which I have successfully loaded on other machines, but am having trouble with a particular machine at home. Most of the install goes properly, but some RPMs simply fail. Some of these, I have eventually been able to install by repeatedly using "rpm -Uvh", but some simply will not go. They fail with "Segmentation fault (core dumped)" messages. Two particular examples are gimp, and kdebase. I have tried installing from CD, via a network link, and from files directly on the local hard disk. I have tried newer files which I downloaded. Nothing works. I tried disabling dma (via both bios and hdparm), with no effect. Has anyone got any ideas? A little background: Compaq Pentium 233, 64M memory, 3G Maxtor IDE disk. I have also added an Adaptec AHA1520B SCSI card and a Seagate (I think) 2G disk. I have been very careful with IRQs and other parameters on this. The system is dual booting with Win95 - with both OSes using both disks. I previously ran mdk7.2 on this system - without the SCSI - but with another 1.5G IDE disk which later died. There were no problems. This is now a fresh install, not an upgrade. Is there any chance mdk 8.1 will fix the problems? I am hoping to get that soon. Brian. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp
