looks like bad media or bad cd-rom drive. Where did you get your discs? Check all cable connections? Any errors on Alt+F4 ?
Discs came with a copy of a magazine called "Australian Computer Magazine", all cable are connected correctly. ALT+F4 reveals the following error- <4>end_request: I/O error, dev 03:05 (hda), sector 105432 <4>hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete error } <4>hda: dma_intr: error=0x40 { UncorrectableError }, LBAsect=206299, sector=105432 Looks like a bad sector on my HD. Is this correct, if so can I fix without O/S? Thanks for your help
try booting with "linux ide=nodma" at the boot: prompt. If this fixes the problem, send the output of: for I in /proc/ide/hd*; do echo $I; cat $I/model; done
