Dear experts, I cannot upgrade/install to Mandrake 9.0.
I haved currently installed Mandrake 8.2 in my HD. When I tried to upgrade to mandrake 9.0 using the upgrade option during the installation setup the following error occured: "no hdlist1.cz found". I cannot resume from this error. The error occurs before the packages can be chosen. I used Standard security level, German/Austria keyboard layout, standard mouse and Expert/Update mode for the installation level. In the logs on virtual screen 2 the following last lines occur: "step 'choose Packages'" "getFile Mandrake/base/hdlists" "trying to read hdlists.cz for medium 1" "getFile Mandrake/base/hdlist1.cz" "warning: no hdlist1.cz found at /usr/bin/perl_install/pkgs.pm line 400, line 64 I tried the following also: I unmounted all my partitions when the error occured (in the shell on the other virtual screen) with: umount /mnt/home umount /mnt/usr umount /mnt/mnt/windows umount /mnt then I pressed "ok" on the intial error message (no hdlist1.cz found) and then I got the following error message: "No hdlist nor synthesis to read for installation CD2 (x86) (cdrom2)" However, all files (hdlist1-8.cz) are on the disk and readable. I tried also not to "upgrade" but the "install" Mandrake 9.0, but the problem remained. ------------------------- I also tried the following errata on the mandrake page: The errata: Error scenario: The blank.img-based installation does not work (An error occurred failed to get /lib/modules.cz...) Why: The module-handling code had been changed between 8.2 and 9.0 and is no longer compatible with blank.img-based installs. Solution: Download the patched blank.img and the special ISO (which contains only the installation program). The md5sum for the ISO is: 7845b7641192cd897bb4dc70df41a39f blank.iso path to errata is here: <http://www.mandrakelinux.com/en/errata.php3> --------------------------- But it was the same error with this new installation method also. My HW is a HP Omnibook 4100 Laptop. I boot with the installation CDROM1. I use Mandrake 9.0 standard edition which I bought from the shop (no download). The installation worked on an other Laptop (where no Linux was installed before) with no problems. Thanks very much for any comments on this. Regards, Josef
