Ross L. Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 Ok finally fixed the I/O error I have earlier (bad CDRW drive. replaced with DVD drive) and now I have a new error. I formatted my hard drive and repartitioned it for Linux. And then the unthinkable happened. When it was searching for available packages, I got the following "blue screen": ERROR An error occurred INTERNAL ERROR: no kernel available MDK::Common::Various::internal_error() called from /usr/bin/perl-install/pkgs.pm:201 pkgs::BestKernelPackage() called from /usr/bin/perl-install/install_any.pm:622 install_any::setPackages() called from /usr/bin/perl-install/install_steps_interactive.pm:395 install_steps_interactive::setPackages() called from /usr/bin/perl-install/install2.pm:78 install2::installStepsCall() called from /usr/bin/perl-install/install2.pm:227 I have run MD5SUM on my ISO's and they all were ok. I scanned the surface of both hard drives I have tried installing on and no bad parts at all with ScanDisk and Drax. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross L. Posted August 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 Sorry about the double post but I figured what was wrong. Another bad drive..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 Hmmm, second bad drive in a row... bad luck... If I were you I would try to change the drive's DMA status within the BIOS before swapping a third optical drive, and see if it made things better.

It's actually a physical thing wrong with the drive, like a drive won't spin or the tray moves in and out without being told to be the user. That is the only reason a drive usually get replaced at my house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
