Comment 4 for bug 131095

Hi Alex,

I feel your pain. I now have two of these machines, and both do the same too. So far they make a great fan and noise maker.

The issue as I see it is that the md5sum begins to fail on files part way through the installation. The CD that I'm using has been used on three other machines, so I know that the CD is fine - that other independant people, like you, see this same issue also confirms the problem.

The only test that I haven't done is to compare the output of md5sum on the offending file (lib6c-udeb ... or something like that) on the Dell PowerEdge2500 with another running system. If I found that the output was indeed different, perhaps I could mount a USB stick with the same files and test again, and perhaps try to point the installer to pick the files from the USB stick, or another source. I fear that this is impossible since the installation at that point likely doesn't have drivers to mount anything but the disk and CD. The network isn't running by that time either, although perhaps the files are in place to start it ... I haven't tried that.

This is my first attempt at an install with RAID5 ... could this be causing the issue?

Regards,

Greg
