[Cooker] Failure to start X after XFree86-4.1.0-1mdk

[Ivan Kerekes]

After upgrading XFree to 4.1 level I can't start X
I am getting
Authentication failed - cannot start X server
Perhaps you do not have console ownership?
-after about 30 seconds-
giving up
xinit: No such file or directory (errno 2): unable to connect to X server
xinit: No such process (errno 3): server error.

After trying a couple times I decided on a fresh reinstall, this is a no-go 
as well, on Alt F3 I got the following error messages:
Trying to load /tmp/image/Mandrake/base/mdkinst_stage2.bz2 as ramdisk
reading compressed ramdisk: DATA_ERROR_MAGIC

Anyone get this?
Thanks:
