Anaconda's automagic dump
Something in your laptop is now crippled too. I pulled the following
information from the Anaconda dump file that you provided.
<4>hdc: ATAPI 24X DVD-ROM drive, 128kB Cache
<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>end_request: I/O error, dev 16:00 (hdc), sector 1644
<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>end_request: I/O error, dev 16:00 (hdc), sector 1644
You have a definite seek error at sector 1644. There are no references to you
having run mediacheck on the CDs that you used in the log file. Did you check
the media _prior_ to installation?
Yes. The media check always stayed at 0% ?? and ended with a recommendation to not use this CD. I plunged ahead anyway since cdrecord had reported the same number of reads as writes ending normally. Now if the CD check had actually reported a seek error and said sector 1644 is unreadable, then I may have paid a bit more attention. Anyway these are more excuses than anything else. Sorry to have taken up your time. With egg on my face, I'll stop now. mediacheck is made to be a simple frontend to check the checksum reported by the disc's actual data. Details like "sectors" and "seek error" could be confusing to some. For the advanced user, a quick perusing of the stderr virtual terminal shows the details behind mediacheck. Anyway - do a new burn, mediacheck, and then upgrade and your system should be fine and dandy. |
