Hello,

Before posting here, I searched for any related thread and found one that discusses this issue after installation. My issue is during installation.

I have a linux image customized based on Centos 5.8
This linux-image was installing well till recently. Of late, the installation is failing with the error:
"Buffer I/O error on device sda2, logical block 66326416" and series of such messages displayed on screen, causing the installation to fail. Found this failure is observed for a new set of seagate HDDs. On the same server with new Seagate HDD, RHEL5 is installed successfully.

Tried to load all the drivers that are there in RHEL5,but that was failing too.

Am looking for pointers to narrow down the issue.

Thanks in advance.

At first, run Seagates diagnosis tool to rule out hardware error.

To rule out hardware error, I tried to install RHEL5 and it was successfully installed. My Centos5.8 image failed to install.
