From: Van Chocstraw on 7 Dec 2009 11:11 I have this stupid computer with a DVD R/RW drive and a CD R/Rw drives. Ubuntu live cd works great. Ubuntu 9.10 installs ok from either drive. OpenSuse 11.2 both live cds Kde and Gnome crash and burn on either CD drive. They have buffer IO errors and it crashes with no more things to do at this run level. Can't run live nor install. Why the difference between Ubuntu and OpenSUSE?

It sounds like there's a bad burn and the OP could do with reburning fresh copies of the openSUSE CDs, and checking the md5sum of the disc after the burn has completed.

I use a KDE live CD as rescue disc, I installed opensuse 11.2 on 4 systems, including one ProLiant server with built in RAID, no problems. Maybe defect media? Buffer IO errors when booting? Sounds very strange. /Str.

However I come across this issue occasionally when the machine has bad ram. I also often find that caching has been turned off in the BIOS in an attempt to hide ram or motherboard issues. -- Best Regards: Baron.

Did you look at the checksums before and after burning? -- Neil Reverse 'r and a' Delete 'l' Linux counter 335851 |
