Hello everybody

 

Quite a long time since my last post but everything was fine with 9.2

 

I wanted to do a fresh install of 10.0, so i downloaded the 3 ISO, burn them like usual. (12X)

 

I tried the normal and expert install options and i get the same result.

Right after the detection of USB devices, i get this error: "cannot uncompress second stage ramdisk. This could be a hardware failure or a kernel bug."

 

Everything was fine in 9.2 and is fine in WinXp.

 

My current pc is this: AMD 2200+, MSI motherboard KT3 Ultra2, 512M DDR 333Mhz, Video MSI NVIDIA GeForce Ti 4200 128M VIVO, Sound Creative Audigy OEM, HD WD 80G 7200rpm, Display Hansol 19 pure flat.

 

50G partition for WinXp

30G for Linux.

I had the same issue..

did a fine and normal install of 9.2 on the exact machine..

but 10.0 Official spouted the same error.

 

after burning like 23 copies of disc 1 (assuming a bad burn- using different programs and OSs)

 

I tried swapping out the CDROM drive.

 

every single disc that gave me the error now worked fine.

(ok, well, like 4 of them.. I didn't try my entire new pile of coasters)

 

that drive worked(s) fine for everything else, including 9.2 and winXP installs.. but for some reason.. it didn't like 10.0-O

 

(i still have it as the second drive in the machine- works great for everything else)
