Subject: Re: [newbie] Problem during install of Mandriva 2007
Well,
I am glad I am not the only one that is getting the seg fault/'memory
errors.
If it's any help I have went to the vendors web page of my pc's and have
downloaded their diagnostics software and ran it on all my 3 pc's . Not a
problem anywhere. Including RAM
I downloaded the dvd iso checked the md5sum and same thing with
me. About 27
min left in the install, same message as Jimmy.
I have downloaded the DVD iso a second time thinking that in their infinite
wisdom the Mandriva Team would have replaced the obvious beta software
with a
thoroughly tested and Final Release.... but I was mistaken as the same
thing
happened.
I tried to address this with bugzilla and heard back nothing. I tried to
email Mandriva but have heard back nothing. I have paid my Silver Dues and
have gotten a thank you. So at least they take your money. It seems
that we
take our chances.
Phil
----CJs reply----
Ok, so if all the md5sums check out and the hardware diagnostics check
out, then there was an error with compiling the iso or even the setup
program. try doing as the other people have recommended

if you have broadband, I think a good 'work around' may well be to find
the boot.iso on the mirror download and burn it (13 megs only) let your
computer start with the boot.iso, it will then let you select a mirror,
download the installer start the install and do an ftp install.
saves downloading a bunch of files you wont ever use, and burning CDs.
I had a problem with the x86_64 ISOs, and went the boot.iso route with
no problems. ymmv.
