system state report
Are you sure that the cd's are good? Random failures are almost always due to bad cd's or flaky hardware. Did you check the md5sums of the ISOs? I do not know how to check the md5sums, but I will check if someone tells me. I burned the CDs from iso's that I d/l'd from the redhat ftp site. I do have 2 HDs in the computer, one is 2 GB that I wanted to install Linux on (and in fact, had a successful 5.2 redhat on there, but hadn't played with it much, so I decided to put on 7.1 before I 'really got into Linux') and the other is an 8 GB WIN drive that I didn't want to format b/c it has a lot of mp3s that I still want access to. Could this unformatted WIN32 drive be throwing a wrench in the works? Last night I thought I should try an install without that drive connected, to see if it succeeded. The Win partition shouldn't cause the install to fail. Is the machine with the ISOs on it a Linux machine or a Windows machine? I can tell you how to check the md5sums on either one, but the procedure is a little different depending on which OS you run. the isos are on my WinME machine, to which I moved the MP3 drive earlier today (I don't know why I didn't consider that before), but moving that drive off the linux box has not helped the 7.1 install procedure. Ok, if you are on a Windows machine, go to http://download.cnet.com/downloads/0-10096-100-5902737.html and download md5sumer. You can use that program to check the md5sums of the ISO images. The values should match the values in the MD5SUM file on the ftp sites. For 7.1, the vaules are: 596b1575773e88e066326f6741312a6f seawolf-i386-disc1.iso f27b912299572a542cd663b712444445 seawolf-i386-disc2.iso If the numbers you get don't match those, then something got mixed up during the download. Does that help? Any more info here? Closing due to inactivity. Please reopen if you have more information. |
