Zac Medley Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 I downloaded [mandriva-linux-2007-spring-one-GNOME-cdrom-i586.iso] and burned it to disc as an image. When I put it in the drive and reboot the sequence gets as far as the first Mandriva page header then reboots. There are several other files in that set but I don't know what to do with them. I'm trying to use it on an older PIII system (CM33-TL MoBo; Via C3 1.0G Processor; 256 MB RAM). What am I doing wrong (or is it my hardware?)

dude67 Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 Did you check the MD5 sum of the iso before burning it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoonma Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 It's also useful to do a check *after* burning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zac Medley Posted September 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 (edited) It's also useful to do a check *after* burning. Well it must have been a hardware issue on that system because since then I tried it on two other systems and it worked perfectly - thanks.

Zac Medley Posted October 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 It was obviously the VIA C3 processor that was the problem, because I switched it out with and Intel PIII and it's what I'm using now to write this. FYI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
