------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-03-11 06:02 ------- it would appear to be a hardware problem. I tried the same cd on two diffrent pc's and one booted and one had the error. I then tried to boot the pc with the error with the command "linux ide1=nodma" and it work perfectly. it should work for you aslong as your cdrom is on secondary ide channel. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: NEW creation_date: description: After booting from DISK 1 the GUI pops up, after I hit enter to start the install I get an error. (well about 10 seconds later) Complete Error Message: Could not uncompress second stage ramdisk. This is probably an hardware error while reading the data. (this may be caused by a hardware failure or a Linux kernel bug) After I hit OK the GUI closes and I see this on the screen: error in exec of stage2 :-( trying to execute '/user/bin/runinstall2' from the installation volume, the following fatal error occurred FATAL ERROR IN STAGE1: Exec format error I can't recover from this.
