I am attempting to do a new install of OpenSUSE 11.2 x86-64 by burning a network install disk. I am having trouble getting it to work on my hardware however. Whenever I boot up with the disc, I get a “image checksum error.” I have tried to redownload the image and also reburn it. The disc will boot in VirtualBox but will not boot on the machine. I do not understand what could be causing this because the CD drive in the machine is working just fine.
When you boot in VirtualBox are you using the ISO file or the burned
optical media (CD/DVD)? If the former then your burn process is probably
failing for one reason or another. When burning you should have an option
to Verify Written Data (or something equivalent; that is the option from
k3b anyway) which you should use. Also before burning turn down the burn
speed to as slow as possible as that often helps.
Good luck.
