InstallPkg Error #2
I am trying to install Slackware 11 and RTLinux 3.2 (we are standardising on these for the moment) on a clean new PC with a 80gig SATA harddisk from a DVD disk and drive.
When I had to partition the harddisk I had to specify "cfdisk /dev/sda" for the installation to see the harddisk. I partitioned it into 40gig, 20gig, and 20gig swap. Everything went well until it wanted to read from the DVD disk where it displayed "InstallPkg Error #2". It say that the *tgz files are corrupted and there is some media error. This disk had been used succesfully for installation on other PCs. In the meantime I pulled out an old PC with an IDE hardisk and the same DVD drive. The installation of slackware was succesful without any problems. Can anyone please advise what I can do to solve this problem. Thanks. |
Did u used the same DVD Drive or same DVD.
Most of the times when such a error occurs, we have to replace the Disk cos even a small damage on the disk can corrupt a package i.e drive wont be able to read the package info correctly so it gives a error **** package corrupted. |
It is the same DVD disk and DVD drive.

Just to add.
I took the IDE harddisk from the old PC (pre-2003) and installed it into the new PC, and disconnected the SATA harddisk. I get the same InstallPkg Error #2 message when it want to do the installation from the DVD disk after the "setup" configuration. |
As far as i think its got nothing to do with the hard disk.
Package error comes when the media has a problem. |
