Well, there *IS* something fishy here... I have downloaded the ISO twice - just "to be sure" - and it passes the md5sum check without problems. So the download seems to be 100% correctly done.
I mount the downloaded ISO and check the tgz archives with WinRAR, they check out alright. So the original ISO seems correct. I burn the ISO file with Nero, verify option on. Nero reports the burned CD's (I tried burning on two different machines, with two different CD-RW disks 650 & 700MB and one 700MB CD-R) to be identical to the ISO file. None of the CD's can boot. If I check the \boot\isolinux\minirt24.gz with WinRAR it fails the test on every disk. When it comes to 91% it reports "Unexpected End of Archive", and then "Failed CRC check". When an ISO file works, but not when burned, it's normally the CD/DVD burner or the disk. But I tried with two burners and three different disks. So that *seems* to be ruled out. The second, less common, possibility is a faulty ISO file that "points outside the disk". You can't detect that if mounting the ISO, but it would give this "End-of-archive" error. *But* - I don't think Nero would report the verification OK. And so many have downloaded the ISO with just one having similar problems - which seemed to have solved themselves. So that seems also to be ruled out. What gives? :o -- tommypeters SB3-->Meridian G68-->NuForce Ref8-->Bc Acoustique ACT A3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tommypeters's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6528 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27980 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
