corrupt files on Suse 8.1 DVD?
Has anyone else encountered corrupted files on the DVD version of Suse 8.1? The size of some files does not match that of the same files on the CD. The files I ran into included boot/root (DVD 7073792 bytes, CD 40628224 bytes) and the kernel RPMs suse/i586/k_*.i586.rpm. Hopefully if anyone else is having mysterious errors like "cannot execute /almost/any/file" and such during autoinstall (caused by a corrupt cramfs image file boot/root), this will save them some grief. I spent 6 hours chasing down this problem (I thought it was PXE booting that was causing the problems). Once I replaced the DVD files with the CD files, everything worked well (I have the DVD copied to an NFS-exported filesystem). Or perhaps my DVD or player is just messed up; unfortunately I only have one DVD drive operational at the moment, and only one DVD. Best regards, Brian
