I downloaded once; worked perfectly. Verify your download before burning,
and then burn at a slow speed.
Good luck.

if the media check fails do NOT use it for the install of anything,
because doing so is just putting garbage on your hard drive–and,
Garbage in, garbage out.
i assume you mean that this media check fails:

if you are saying the md5sum of the iso failed, then do NOT burn it to
disk, as it is garbage if not 100% correct…

The disk burned fine using Roxio on Win 7.; I downloaded it twice and essentially wasted two DVDs; The first time I burned it was with Brasero; The disk burned with Roxio booted fine, updated 8 packages from the RC 2 installation. What I am saying, there is a check media menu item on the boot up CD. This seems to not work; The disk installed fine.

if i understand what you are saying, you downloaded a DVD, burned it
with Roxio and then booted from it and ran the DVD’s built in media
check <http://tinyurl.com/2ebcf27> which didn’t work?
by that you mean you tried to launch the check by highlighting the
option “Check Installation Media” with the arrow keys and then hitting
enter…and, what happened?
-nothing happened? you waited how many seconds/minutes before you hit
enter again?
or
-the test seemed to try to start and you could see what?
-but it didn’t finish?
-what did it look like when it quit running?
-was there any writing or error messages on the screen?
is this the 32 or 64 bit DVD?
and, after nothing happened, without knowing if the disk was ok or not
(but KNOWING it was not ok because it could not self test) you used it
to update RC2 packages, right?
hmmmmm…you also mention a CD, is that a typo or did you have both a
DVD and a CD? if both, which CD did you download…and, which disk’s
Media Check didn’t work, the CD or the DVD?

it was typo; I only have DVD media. I am using the system; it seems to work ok; it was by pure accient I did the media check since it downloaded with no error and burned with no error off of a Roxio setup; I would have zero reason to assume an issue; I was just playing around and it actually failed this check, but seemed to have worked fine. Is there any system check I should use to verify the installation now that it is running?

What’s the MD5SUM for the image? Just want to compare to mine.

You could probably use the RPM verification function - that compares
files against what should be on the system.
What I’m wondering, though, is what the MD5SUM for the ISO image you had
is so I can compare to mine - if they’re the same and I run the media
check, then I can see if we can determine why it’s failing the check and
get a bug entered.

Hi
Did you get an md5 to compare if not this is what I get

Rpms are checked during install, one by one, so that if they installed,
they are correct.
If the DVD doesn’t check it means it has errors. It may be as little as a
letter in one of the text displays or graphics, with absolutely no
consequences. Or, it can be that one rpm is bad, but if that one is not
installed, you will not see a problem.
Then, it may be that the error changes installation code, and it simply
fails, or does not boot, or who knows. Or a crucial package fails to
install, and your system is useless.
Having a DVD that fails the check is like a lottery.
It is safer to check and not install if it doesn’t pass.

That doesn’t match the release DVD ISO image MD5SUM.
But I want to know if Richard’s does since his is having the failure on
the checksum. If his doesn’t match that and mine does, then it doesn’t
do any good to do a media check on mine.

Can you tell me what the correct MD5SUM is ? I wasn’t sure if I had the correct one. Two different downloads had different MD5Sums and neither matched what I got from the download page.
Thanks
I didn’t burn or try installing either
This is the md5sum of the 64 bit 11.4 DVD
082ebfac494b41cd56b38fb4218c545d
Thanks Andrew
I need to try another download

The one on the download page is correct (I don’t have it in front of me
at the moment).

Don’t.
Use one of the documented methods to repair a download.
Or use a good metalink downloader, such as aria2c, which guarantees a good
download at the fastest speed possible.

I ordered the North American version and tossed my old burned discs.; I had also bought the 11.3 version, last year, and I did a media check on it for an experiment and it was fine, so I will use the 11.4 “as is” and perhaps re-install the OS after new disks arrive. My opinion is the RW HP 16x disks have bad sectors, but the software was ok. Perhaps in the future I will buy another brand of disk; another experiment for another day.

I download yesterday and burnt DVd after doing MD5, Sha1 and asp verify.
Then ran media check and all test passed with flying colors. Even booted
up to disk partitioning step and I aborted inorder to verify my backups
first. Will try install today. using X86_64 full DVD.
