Yep, that sounds familiar. Just out of curiosity, are you trying to install the 64 bit version? Or the 32 bit version? What kind of PC are you trying to install it on? -JM Kai Zhang wrote:
The CDROM is on master. I can boot up via CDROM and it leads to installation procedures. Everything works fine until Yast2 gets to the software package selection. It took awful long time for my PC to evaluate the package. Then "Cannot read package data from installation media. Media Error?
I logged into the mirror.ac.uk server on all occasions and downloaded 60 MB of information to load into memory, setup the keyboard and mouse, usb-storage, etc. It only locked up on the software packaging.
Please give me a hand!

As soon as I put the CD in the master CDROM, everything went great. No more media errors.
Perhaps this is the problem you're experiencing? I don't know too much about FTP installs, as I try to always buy my copies of SuSE... but I thought I might mention it just in case.

installation, CD
only loads up the some kernel modules and load up RAM

FTP server ( I use mirror.ac.uk and tried other
mirrors as well). I tried
both in my office and at home. I am pretty
sure it's not network issue. The
error says Media Error, but the
actual media source of the installation is
FTP server.
Anyone has an experience with direct FTP installation? Please
give me a tip!

I've personally had this problem a number of times. It's always been
due to
a badly burned Cd or DVD. I now habitually burn at a lower
speed than is
rated for the disk. You could also try cleaning the
disk burner lens. If
that all fails try a different brand of disk.
