I think you have a bad cd.  Did you check the md5sums of the ISOs?

Comment 2 David Bredt 2001-11-12 08:24:30 UTC
bfox, thanks for the advice.  I guess I should try to get another CD and try 

again.  I did not understand you question, "Did you check the md5sums of the 

ISOs?"



What is an "md5sums"?

What is the "ISOs"?



Thank you

Did you burn your own cd's or were they the retail cd's?  If you burned them
yourself, it is likely that you downloaded the ISO images to create the cd's
with.  An ISO is essentially one really big file that contains an "image" of a
cd.  You can use md5sum to run a checksum on the ISO image.  If the result that
md5sum returns to you is different from the values in the MD5SUM file on the FTP
site, then something got corrupted during the download.  This is a very common
problem that we see from our users.

If you have the retail cd's, try booting the installer with 'linux ide=nodma'. 
Does that help?

If not, can you disconnect your ZIP drive and see if that helps?

Dear BFox:



Thank you for the additional advice but I am still stuck.



To give you more information.  I bought the retail CD's.  And, before I saw your 

second note, I bought a second set of the CDs as you mentioned my CDs were 

probably bad.  So I am now in for $120.



In any case, I tried both booting the installer with "linux ide=nodma" and I 

tried disconnecting my Zip drive, but in neither case did it help.  It seems the 

installer gets hung up.  The weirdest thing is that each time the installer gets 

hung up at a different pont?  



I tried installing 10-15 times and the installer bugged out at various points 

each time.  Sometimes it crashes during the anaconda and sometime during the 

later installation processes. Once it got all the way to the end of 

installation??  (I am not sure what this variability is due to?)  Unfortunately, 

when I tried to boot redhat the one time I did get to the end of the 

installation, my monitor was unreadable - it was scrolling yellow.  



I am confused by that monitor problem as I selected my correct monitor type (Dell 

1701 flat panel digital) and resolution 1280 X 1024 and my correct horizontal / 

vertical scroll rates) but when I tested it the screen was scrolling and looked 

yellow.  I tried a few different monitor configurations during installation, but 

they all looked bad.  Finally the installer told me installation was complete (I 

never accepted the monitor choice because I could never see the screen).  Anyway, 

when I booted Redhat, the screen was yellow and scrolled too fast to read.   



Because of this monitor problem, I have tried to reinstall Redhat, but again the 

installer is bugging out at various points and I have not gotten to the end 

again.



Please advise as I cannot use my Redhat.  I seem to have two problems:



1.  The installer almost always crashes.

2.  The one time installation seemed to finish, my monitor was unreadable though 

the Redhat installer listed my monitor type and had its correct specifications. 



I wonder if the monitor problem (the one time I got to the end of installation) 

and the variabilities I am getting in installation are related or different 

problems.



This is really becoming a huge time investment, my wife is going to kill me :-).  

I hope you have some advice or can tell me who I can contact.  



Is it possible another distribution of Linux would be better for me?  Though I 

have spent $120 and many many hours with Redhat, I am not sure I will get it 

installed and running.

I wish that you had just exchanged your boxed set for a new one instead of
buying a second copy.  

From looking at the original debug message that you attached, the following section:


<4>hdc: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }
<4>hdc: ATAPI reset complete
<4>hdc: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }
<4>hdc: ATAPI reset complete
<4>Error -5 while decompressing!
<4>c0267238(1766)->d526e000(4096)


indicates that the problem is related to the DVD drive.  "hdc" is the Linux
device name for the cdrom device, and the kernel is obviously having problems
reading from the device.  Usually this is due to bad cdrom media, but since you
have tried two different retail CDs, I'm inclined to think the problem is with
the drive.  Do you have a regular cdrom drive that you could try the install
with?  Now, I'm not saying that the drive itself is defective...it could be that
the drive is fine, but there is a bug in the drived for this particular drive.

The monitor problems that you are seeing are unrelated, in my opinion.
