Hello,
You might want to check the ISO for errors. You can use "md5sum" for this. Usually on a download page the md5sums for the ISOs are listed. Try google for instructions on "md5sum." If the md5sum of the ISO on your computer does not match the md5sum that is listed on the mandriva download page, then the ISO is corrupt. Or, you can just download the ISO again. :) Good luck. |
Thanks for the help. What I did was burn the image to a different make dvd and I was able to install. Now I have a new problem!
I did install, everything seem to install ok. After reboot, freezes on very first screen and the right 2 lights on my keyboard fash on and off continuously. I try booting in safe mode. I only get so far and same thing. This is the last page of the log. loading ext3.ko module mounting /proc filesystem Mounting sysfs creating device files mounting tmpfs on /dev creating root device no resume device specified trying userspace resume from suspend.conf file no resume device in suspend.conf echo: cannot open /sys/power/suspend2/do_resume for write: 2 echo: cannot open /sys power/tuxonice/do_resume for write: 2 mounting root filesystem /dev/root with flags relatime mount: error 6 mounting ext3 flags relatime well, retrying without the option flags mount: error 6 mounting ext3 switching to new root ERROR opening /dev console!!!!: 2 inmounting old /proc unmounting old /sys switchroot: mount failed: 22 initrd finished Kernel panic - not syncing: attempted to kill init! I purchased this powerpack as a download. In the above, this is omly the last page of the log. I may have mistyped as I was copying this from the screen. Thank you for any help! Doug |
