Re: [gentoo-user] Install Problems

[Imre Solti]

I saw a couple of burns recently (burned in house) where the stage2* 
tarball was corrupted on the LiveCD. LiveCD starts but when you get to 
the point to untar stage2* then it bombs. New burns -> bombs in the same 
stage tarball but at an other file in the archive. (ISO used for burning 
has correct md5sum, BTW. File gets corrupted during burn.) I had to 
download the tarball when I got to that point on the installation from 
the internet. Works like a charm. I am on broadband, though.

As for the Store CD. I have one from Gentoo. It does not even starts the 
installation. Machine can not boot from it. I had to download and burn a 
copy myself on a quality ASUS CD-RW, to get things working. So, I would 
not be surprised if you would have a "lemon", too.

If you have problems while un-tarring the files I'd suggest re-downloading
and burning another copy. I'm not sure, but it seems like corrupt
archives.

The only problem, besides the 36 hours, is that its a gentoo CD from the
store.
