I had trouble intalling 8.2 Pro using my Sansung combo drive also. I was able to install once I upgraded the drive's firmware. Use this page to find if your drive has a later firmware to upgrade to. http://forum.rpc1.org/portal.php Donn aka n5xwb Washburn wrote:
Hey Group;
I am very familiar with the basic Yast2 install proceedure from a CD or floppy. Starting with Side A up on a brand new DVD. The DVD is a Samsung SM-352.
After basic bootup (only change was screen res.) at "New Installlation" where Yast displays the "Installation Settings". Under "Software" we get an error stating "Cannot read package data from installation media media error?" This is a new DVD and this is the first time it has been used this way. It has worked as a DVD xsine player.
Any selection pased this point gives a error based on the selection is not complete - which is true! A view of the Package Selection screens finds no packages.
Is the 9.0 DVD defective? Any clues! We will try the prue CD method. We will also try the DVD in this machine to see if it has a problem or the machine has one.
