Hi, Trying to install 8.2 beta 4, and the installer is unable to load the second stage image (I'm pretty sure that's what it's trying to do).
Happens after the CD boots, I hit enter and it loads the kernel and stuff.. then normally it loads a screen that says "loading image" or something like that with a progress bar, and a bar at the bottom that says <Alt-F1> for here, <Alt-F3> for something, <Alt-F4> for osmething else. Basically it sits there for a while then gives me a dialog box saying it had trouble accessing the image and if I wanted to try again. If I say yes it just repeats itself after some time. Here's some info I pulled off of the Alt-F3 screen: * IDE/0: hdd is a PLEXTOR CD-R PX-W1610A * mounting /dev/hdd on /tmp/image as type iso9660 * have to insmod isofs * needs isofs * succeeded isofs * mount failed: Not a directory And here's some info I pulled off of the Alt-F4 screen: <4>hdd: ATAPI 40X CD-ROM CD-RW drive, 2048kB cache, DMA <4>Interlaced files not (yet) supported. <4>File unit size != 0 for ISO file (75776) <4>Warning: defective CD-ROM (volume sequence number 20047).
