Any ideas?
I would suggest burning at a very low rate and/or on a different computer, perhaps one of the ones that cannot read your present disks.
another, swap out the dvd drive for the one in the computer that successfully read the disk.
It really sounds like a hardware problem. There have been other reports here of the same occurances, but I cannot recall any positive results/solutions. Someone else may :^)
I had the same, but I still have no idea what was the reason. The DVD and 2 Live CDs will boot on my computers (desktop and laptop), but it will fail on both friend's computers. On laptop it will not boot at all, on older desktop it will boot and then crash. The DVD was burned 4x which is 1/4 of the maximum speed. Device buffer was almost all the time 100%, never below 90%. Solution was to use openSUSE 11.0 retail DVD for laptop, where it installed fine. I doubt it is a DVD, as it runs fine on 2 different computers, and iso itself was checked with MD5 and SHA1. I had no time to check more as installation, update, rough configuration of laptop, then download of newer Knoppix, and its installation on desktop took whole evening. The desktop was kernel problem, and cure was to use older kernel. The only CD that booted was Knoppix, so it was installed. I'll see what is going to happen when I get chance to update that system. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
