https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=227670 Summary: Install does not re-download packages that fail MD5 Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: greg.riedesel@wwu.edu QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Due to some issues, I have placed the install files on an EXT2 partition on my hard-drive and have been attempting installs from there. It's much faster than DVD, for one. The drive is a SATA drive. During install every so often, generally every every third try, a random package will fail MD5 validation and the Retry/Abort/Ignore dialog will come up asking if I want to retry downloading. I click the Retry button and it fails instantly. Near as I can figure the Install is not re-pulling the package from the source partition and reattempting validation, just assuming it is bad. I haven't had the same package fail twice yet, and I've had package install run to completion several times already. Which leads me to believe that the source archive itself is fine, but some hardware oddity (non-recoverable read error on the SATA?) is flipping a bit during the transfer from the source partition to the holding area for package install. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
