now that is interesting, because; while you and jdow where chatting, i decided to burn a .iso to a dvd-r/w with k3b; ]$ k3b -version Qt: 3.3.6 KDE: 3.5.4-26.el5_7.1 Red Hat K3b: 0.12.17 ]$ and look at the debugging info to see what k3b showed for command line; +++ growisofs command: ----------------------- /usr/bin/growisofs -Z /dev/hdd=/hd/b/06/pmagic/pmagic.iso \ -use-the-force-luke=notray -use-the-force-luke=tty -dvd-compat \ -speed=4 -overburn -use-the-force-luke=bufsize:8m +++ as you can see, '-dvd-compat', not '--dvd-compat' ]$ growisofs --help * growisofs by <[email protected]>, version 7.0, - usage: growisofs [-dvd-compat] [-overburn] [-speed=1] \ -[ZM] /dev/dvd <mkisofs options> for <mkisofs options> see 'mkisofs -help' ]$ mkisofs -version mkisofs 2.01 (cpu-pc-linux-gnu) ]$ ]$ uname -a Linux 2.6.18-274.12.1.el5 #1 SMP Tue Nov 29 11:20:34 EST 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux ]$ > # md5sum ./SL-61-x86_64-2011-07-27-Everything-DVD2.iso /dev/sr0 > 32cce790ae5eb3f435a7898431740544 > ./SL-61-x86_64-2011-07-27-Everything-DVD2.iso > 4fd4dfa15d7c9bb5f29eace90611e116 /dev/sr0 > > Still a bad md5sum. > > But, I ran the self check and this time Disk 1 both boots > and passes self check. Joy! ___ that is what counts. as mentioned before, failing md5sum is not an indication of a bad burn. > Thank you all for your patience and your tips! --- welcome. glad to see you are now able to boot, now to install. in addition, as a note of curiousness, do you have k3b configed to open cd/dvd drawer? ria, this was once a problem and could cause crashes during check. if so, disable to see what happens. -- peace out. tc.hago, g . *please reply "plain text" only.
