Installation Stopped by Request for Insert Disc 1

English Install/Boot/Login
1

Hi, new to Linux and I’m trying to install OpenSuse on my machine:

AMD Athlon 64 3200+ / 2.0 GHz
ATI Radeon Xpress 200
512.0 MB DDR SDRAM
ATI Radeon Xpress 200 Shared video memory (UMA)
DVD-RW 16X TSSTcorp CD/DVDW TS-H552B drive
Western Digital WD3200AAJB 320GB Hard Drive

I downloaded the ISO for version 11.4-i586 DVD size from DirectLink on opensuse.org.
I checked the Windows MD5CHECKSUM and verifyied it.

The installation goes fine until it begins installing packages when it prompts:

“Insert Disc 1”

Which I believe is the Disc that I burned already with the ISO file and is in the DVD-ROM drive that it’s asking for. This happens for several files, and prompt me to either

retry/skip/abort/cancel

If I click Retry I get “media1.media not found” or a similar message.
If I click Abort/Skip/Cancel the installation stops and takes me to a text version of the installation which then stops and says that it can not find the Installation Package either.

I have looked for reasons behind this but all I could find was possibly Mounting the DVD-ROM but the installatin runs fine until it begins looking for specific files and says it can’t find the files on the Disc, even though it’s in the DVD drive.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

and, be SURE to boot from the disk to do that (above) and when complete
(if it has no errors) boot from the disk again and select “Installation”
from that green screen…

(i think the error you got is because you inserted the disk while
windows was running and it auto-started the install…

do NOT do that, it will result in a bad install!

Thanks, that worked. The Scan Installation Media told me there was a bad Sector on the DVD and that it was “Broken”. I re-imaged another DVD and installation went good. Unfortunately less than a minute in my computer screen went completely white with blue lines. Same thing happened with Ubuntu. I was unable to find a solution for that problem so it looks like my computer can only handle Windows. Sigh, I guess Linux is just not in my destiny. Thanks for the help though.

You give up easily.
Do you have some strange hardware (Graphics device?)

I searched for a while for the fix on Ubuntu with no luck, so I’m not all that hopeful. Yes I think I do have a strange device: I started a thread here detailing what I’ve been able to figure out so far.

OK
I’m not in a place to help with ATI
