Description of problem: When installing on VMware on a dell 2.6ghz machine running XP pro, get a corrupt disk or corrupt download error on xsane components. Does not allow to skip file. (That is the main problem) when on disk 2 most of the compnents are optional (at least it appears they are) why then do you not allow to skip file? Also, if I do a disk check it fails. Havent checks the md5 yet but I see no reason why it should fail due to the fact that I have a direct connection and no errors where reported on download. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Read above Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: corrupt file or disk 2 not passing integrity check. Expected results: Passes and installs or allows to skip that file and maybe flag it for download after intall. (Thats what I would do... basically if it fails on a non-essential package, skip that package but add it to an auto install after the system is running) Additional info:
Just verified MD5 it matches so the actual disk 2 image is corrupt. Here is my md5: MD5: FD23FE32FAFE7557F5D1FA1D31100580 SHA1: 1DA1661C69772E34AE5A4CF8C9BCEB8D1105FD65 RIPEMD: 9915822A997CF5AE425B78266E68DDF54EAB884A Here is your md5 for this file fd23fe32fafe7557f5d1fa1d31100580 yarrow-i386-disc2.iso as you can see they match. So the source of this probelm appears to be on your side. (have tried it on 3 different CD -Roms and the actual CD ROM that burned the disk so you know it can read it.)
Not a package bug.
Does booting with 'linux allowcddma' help?
No that didn't fix it...
How about 'linux ide=nodma'?
Maybe you misburned the CD. Did you checksum the burned CD, or only the downloaded image?
Most probably dodgy CD-R(W). I had the same problem - on the first try disk 2 was reported corrupt by installer media test. After I used another blank CD-RW for disk 2 the problem went away.
Good. Since Carl doesn't contradict this theory of a bad burn I'm closing this one out.
