Subject: [newbie] Problem during install of Mandriva 2007
Ok,
I've tried getting this to work from two different directions,
and the same thing happens. I've been running 2006 with no problems.
I backed up all my data, and then tried to install Mandriva 2007 as a
new clean install. Everything was going fine until I got to cd5, and
then after it was install from cd5 for a good while, I get a "Segment
Fault, memory seems to crash" error message, and then the install won't
go any further. I started the install all over again, and got the same
result.
Next, I re-installed 2006, and tried to do an upgrade instead. I
got the same result. Next thing I tried was downloading the ISO's again,
and making new cd's. Agian tried doing a clean install, and got the same
result, and got the same results when I tried doing an upgrade from
2006.
Has anyone else had this problem? Obviously, my machine is fine.
I've been running 2006 without even so much as a hickup.
Thanks
Jim

You have 2 possible causes:
1) the site in wich youve gotten the ISO (assuming that you got the iso from some other site then mandriva) from may have a currupt iso.
2) you may have bad ram
3) you may have a bad cd rom
4) Damaged sectors on your drive (which have gone unmarked) maybe causing the error
If you didnt dl the iso from mandriva, then delete the current iso and download the iso from mandriva
Did you also check to see if you have bad ram? If you have bad ram, then you should replace the ram immediately.
How old is your cd rom? do you have problems reading other cds with it?
And lastly, did you check your hard drive for damaged sectors?
