From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20021003 Description of problem: The RHL9 ISO 2 media check fails everytime Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): binary disk 2 iso How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Downloaded RHL9 ISO 2 from RHN 2.Run the "md5sum" to check the checksum, passed. 3.Burn onto the CD. Do media check, but it can not pass. 4.I did the step 2 and step 3 many itmes, the result is same. Actual Results: The media check fails everytime Expected Results: Media check pass. Additional info:
I have confirmed as of yesterday that all three binary ISOs downloaded from the RHN website do pass mediacheck when burned to disc. Can you try burning at half of the maximum speed of your CD recorder to see if that helps?
I also attempted to burn the CD at 4x, the slowest speed my system supports and had the same failure. The specific problem appears to be the xpdf-2.01-8. The message is that the installer cannot open this package. It says that the error is due to a missing file or a corrupt package. This is the exact same error on all four CD #2 that I have burned.
just tried the revolutionary approach of installing it on another machine, and guess what? CD 2 does pass. Must be something funky with the CD-ROM drive in my other machine. Don't know why it consistently had a problem with CD2 and died in the same spot each time on each copy of CD 2 that I burned, but there it is.
I am also having this problem, with pretty much the exact same symptoms. The install fails on the second CD starting with xpdf. I tried installing a second time without xpdf, but then it just failed on the next package, xsane. I will try installing with another drive, but I just thought I would let you know that he isn't the only person seeing this behavior.
