Guest simc Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 This is my first try at any linux and i downloaded the 3 cds from the mandriva website and partitioned my hard drive but i encountered a very early problem. When i try to install mandriva 2006 i insert first CD, then press enter when menu saying install press enter comes up but it won't even load the installer, it just says "fatal error initialising setup". I don't know if this helps but in the log it says: * mount_clp_may_preload: sysroot/tmp/image/install/stage2//mdkinst-dp into /sysroot/tmp/stage2 (preload=1) * short write (Bad address) * third party: using modules location /sysroot/fap/image * fopen (stage1 c:348) failed: No such fiile or directory If someone could please tell me what is going on i'd be very grateful Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gul Dukat Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 (edited) Did you check the md5sum of the .iso-files before burning? Edited June 30, 2006 by Gul Dukat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daniewicz Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 Sounds like a bad burn to me too. Try burning the CD's again. To make your life easier I suggest burning the Mandriva One DVD if you can. Burning 1 is easier than 3 and you will get a less buggy xorg as the Mandriva One has some of the eventually needed updates already in place.

Guest simc Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 (edited) i just checked the md5sum and it matches so i'll try to burn it again Edit: It worked! Edited July 1, 2006 by simc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
