Hi,
After I spent the last 3 days "try" to install S.L 4.4 I decide to ask
if somebody of you have experience
such error.
" There was an error installing samba-common-3.0.10-1.4E.9 This can
indicate media failure
Lack of disk space, and/or hardware problems.This is a fatal error
and your install will be aborted.
Please verify your media and try your install again"
Now I will explain what I did until now
1) Download the 4 iso image from the scientificlinix site, create a dvd
image and try to install and
I got the error as I mention but with different package"
2) I check if the download was done correctly and I discover there was
an error during the download
3) I download from a different site , at that time I check the 4 image
and was OK I recreate the dvd
image, I try again same result with different package name.
4) I try to burn the DVD with several different media and different DVD
burner, same result with different
package name
5) I decide to burn 4 CD as it is without create the DVD, but of course
same result etc. etc.
The HW I use is a Dell PowerEdge 2950 ( 2 CPU 4Gb RAM and 2 disk 73Gb
SAS mirrored)
In the same hardware has been already install SL 4.0 SL4.3 and SL.5.0
without any problem
Here the are the result of fdisk -l after the error
Disk /dev/sda : 72.7 GB, 7274600 8576

Any hints will be appreciate

After you make the iso image do the following
dd if=/dev/zero count=15 bs=2048 >> <your iso image name>
What media are you using with what dvd burner. There are still some
combinations of media and burners that do not get along very much.
For example pioneer drives burn dvd-r media better than dvd+r media.
Do any of the ctl-alt-f3 , ctl-alt-f4, ctl-alt-f5 screens show any media
errors with your dvd/cd reader?
