Hi folks,

 

Tried to install 10.0 rc1 today, but no go. Inserted CD1 and got the message "could not uncompress 2nd stage ramdisk...probably a hardware error while reading data (hardware failure or Linux Kernel bug".

 

I rebooted and tried to reinstall a different kernel: F1 at !st install screed then alt0 for the 2.6 kernal or alt1 for a 2.4 kernel. Neither worked. I inserted MDK 10.0 Beta 2 CD1 and no

problem.

 

Any ideas? :wall:

I have a old pentium pro that does that to me every time I install mandrake on it. Try CTRL-ALT-Delete rebooting it when it dies. 2nd or 3rd time works fine on my old box (which is running bit-torrent right now). I don't have a clue why it does that, but if you watch the kernel messages (F4 ?), you'll see some king of work around happen, really.
