[opensuse-factory] Is this the correct md5sum?
When I go to: http://en.opensuse.org/Development_Version and select 'mc5sum' for beta 5 it sends me here: http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.1-Beta5/iso/which doesn't have a md5sum for anything except ppc. My md5sum:
md5sum openSUSE-11.1-Beta5-DVD-x86_64.iso 793e487eb299df6bede87de3d722cc6f openSUSE-11.1-Beta5-DVD-x86_64.iso

Rajko M sorry for sending E-MAIL direct to you. This is the only list I participate in that send reply's to original sender rather than to the list. Seem's counter intuitive to me. But that's just me... Thanks for the reply. I believe I now understand current handling of md5sum and sha1sum. And both do match. The DVD drive is a Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-112D about 1 year old. It does work well with multiple install DVD's each for openSUSE 11.0, Mandriva, and Fedora. Including during the time I'm having problem with 11.1 Beta 1-5. I'm burning these DVD's [k3b] at slowest speed 2.4x and using 'verify written data'. And have tried cdrecord from cli exactly as 'Download Help' web page suggests: cdrecord dev=/dev/sr0 speed=44 driveropts=burnproof -eject -v openSUSE-11.1-Beta5-DVD-x86_64.iso I don't have any funds just now to buy another anyway. Just realized that I do have an older external DVD-RW. Though older it has been used much less than internal one. Also in k3b it offers to burn at an even slower speed. Am burning one now at 1x using 'verify written data'. Will see what happens... Also FWIW: The bug assignee, Tejun Heo, seems to clearly believe that this is a kernel problem. We have done tests that indicate that this is probable. However I will do all I can to eliminate the possibility of a full or partial hardware problem. -- Thanks, ben popatopalous -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

A question. Is there a boot option I could use that would require installer to use my external DVD-RW as installation media? I tried [using 2 Beta 5 DVD's one in internal and one in external drives] 'mount /dev/sr1' and separately 'source=/dev/sr1'. It tried to load installer but ended up with errors. -- Thanks, ben popatopalous -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Download and burn the 'NET' aka "MINI" CD and boot that in the internal drive. It will find an external drive with DVD and seamlessly transfer to that, if present. Alternatively, if you have a second machine on a network, loop-mount the DVD ISO image and share e.g. FTP, NFS etc. and (you need to intervene manually to) use the NET CD to install from it. See also http://en.opensuse.org/INSTALL%40Network I use both of these methods all of the time, generally very successfully. -- Cheers Richard (MQ) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

I use both of these methods all of the time, generally very successfully. Thanks. Only one computer here. The mini.iso does indeed work with external DVD-RW. And I get basically the same errors as reported in bug report:
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=429344 I believe this diminishes the probability of a hardware issue. Good to know how to use external drive to install from. At least in openSUSE. -- Thanks, ben popatopalous -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Yes it does. The only hardware thing left are DVD raw disks. Do you have some other brand handy to try? -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

FWIW I get some problems similar to those that you list in that bug. Not sure yet why... Another thing to try. If you have 5G or so spare HD space (maybe even on another drive): 1. loop mount the DVD image (as root: mount -o loop,ro image.iso mountpoint) 2. copy the contents to HD, ideally in a place that will be easy to specify (see below) (such such as /data) 3. Boot from the NET / MINI CD and try 'Hard Disc' as installation source. I haven't used this approach recently but it *used to* work OK ;-) See also http://en.opensuse.org/Installation_without_CD#Installing_from_data_saved_on... -- Cheers Richard (MQ) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

I meant to say here - of course this needs to be on a partition that won't be deleted during the installation. Another argument for having /home in its own partition.
3. Boot from the NET / MINI CD and try 'Hard Disc' as installation source.

Good idea to clear potential driver problems that look like hardware ones. That installation works fine and separate /home can be used as a place to store the source, iso or complete directory tree. BTW, it will work from existing DVD too, just select local hard disk as a source and type in path, but burning separate small NET iso will remove any possible DVD errors completely. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
