AussieJohn Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 (edited) Did you do a check sum on the iso after you downloaded it ???. Did you burn the iso to dvd as an iso or did you unpack it and burn it as a data disc ???. If you did the latter then you did things wrongly. If you burnt it correctly as an iso then it is possible that the download was corrupted and a check sum would have shown that. If you did do a check sum and it was correct then the iso may have been corrupted during the burn process. Do another dvd iso burn but do it at the slowest speed possible instead of setting the burn speed at max or auto. Hope this helps you. A great big welcome to MUB. Cheers.

polemicz Posted July 28, 2005 Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 A big problem people have with burning iso's is the burn speed. Burn at a very low speed, assuming md5sums are ok. By the way, I have never had a download where the md5sums were bad. Has anyone else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GED Posted July 28, 2005 Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 I have tried also with a Mandrake 10.1 from an international edition (the blue box). Same freez attitude... I burn the iso as an iso. Maybe a chipset problem ? What's the meaning of this strange message ? for your replies.. And sorry for my poor english.. i'm french and not so good in foreign languages.. ;) Ged Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted July 28, 2005 Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 Try with linux pci=nosort ( http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/sh...15&pagenumber=2 ) Or, according to google, it could be the HD/DVD setup. Put them on different ide channels (not master HD, slave DVD ) Or it could be bad memory PS: don't worry about your English. I'm Dutch and make errors all the time. Nobody notices them as far as I can tell. Never had a complaint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazyspongebob Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 I tried on another PC with the same DVD.. It works fine... I have tried with another distro (Ubuntu 5.04).. It works fine. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I had quite the similar problem with 32-bit 2005LE on my AMD64. Ubuntu 5.04 works fine. J.T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sessman Posted September 24, 2005 Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 (edited) I have the same problem. My system: AOpen XC Cube EZ482 AMD Athlon 64 3500 Radeon X200 onBoard 1 GB Dual Channel Corsair Memory SATA HDD ... Mandriva LE2005 and RC2 2006 hangs after entering setup. But Knoppix and Ubuntu works fine. Where is the problem with Mandriva? Edited September 24, 2005 by sessman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterPanic Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 Hmm... Just having a similar proble here with a Mandriva 2006 DVD from a Linux Magazine. Statistics: I'm a professional Linux Admin, Experiences wit Mandy from 7...8...9..10..10.1...10.2 (05) and now installed this 2006 on 2 Notebooks and one Tower before fromt the same DVD and worked fine (except for LAN problems I'll post in an other thresd). Now I put a DVD drive and a new 200GB HD in my own PC (never had a DVD drive myself before... ) and booted the 2006 DVD. Booting works fine, but no option will help. When "loading program into memory", it stops when half finished and says something about "bad sectors" in the log (Alt+F3/4) ... I'll try some more Options and post the exact error soon... BTW: I'm now here with Knoppix 4.0CD and it works fine. Of course, it could be a DVD Problem (as this is my only DVD :-( ) or trouble with the new hdd... Or: The DVD got a scratch after the other installs... Hmmm... As I said: I'll try and post... If any of you know anything, please help :-) Hardware: see sig (Everything quite old and works fine since 9.2 ... up to 10.2) New Hardware: MAxtor 200Gig Hdd, AOpen DVD-RW, everything standard. Thanks for reading my heap of letters. Ciao, Panic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
