A screenshot of an error I get when trying to install from the corrupted ISO

Description of problem:
Typing 'md5sum desktop-i386-20110126.16.iso' returns:

8177e917b566e24119387274e538d47d  desktop-i386-20110126.16.iso

instead of the md5sum on the server:

db0838f5172c5b6a5cbc81f644cff2b4a052a474bcb85c7b820457033882687b  desktop-i386-20110126.16.iso

The sha1sum is different too:

b3a6636112a2840aa7952f81dd2068ce724f6028  desktop-i386-20110126.16.iso

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Rawhide 20110126.16

How reproducible:

Very.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download the Rawhide Daily ISO image
2. Write it to a USB flash drive or CD
3. Find that the live installer will fail to start with "Not a live image" error
4. Find that after doing a checksum on it it does not match the checksum on the build server
  
Actual results:

The installer will fail to start with "Not a live image" error when you try to install from CD or USB drive. Also, as already mentioned before, CD image checksum does not match that on the server

Expected results:

The checksum being correct and the downloaded image working, actually allowing me to install, not just boot off the live image. See attachment.

Updated:

kenny_strawn@kenny-AOA110:~$ cd Downloads
kenny_strawn@kenny-AOA110:~/Downloads$ ls
desktop-i386-20110126.16.iso
kenny_strawn@kenny-AOA110:~/Downloads$ checkisomd5 $(ls)

The media check is complete, the result is: PASS.

It is OK to use this media.

Apparently, the MD5 sum is correct. It's just the installer failing to recognize the live image.

Comment 2 Kenny Strawn 2011-01-28 04:31:46 UTC
Okay, sorry for the needinfo request. I already provided the required information: Apparently, the installer is in a running live environment but can't find a live environment to install.

Comment 3 Brian Lane 2011-01-28 04:43:20 UTC
This is due to /dev/mapper/live-osimg-min not being created.
