Booting with the DVD out of the box lead to that failure:
Error Message:
“cd:/content: Invalid signature”
Checking the dvd reveal no error.
Any help?
What do you mean ‘out of the box’
Not an openSUSE boxed edition surely?
“out of the box”
means openSUSE boxed edition
So you will be asking for a refund?
Not yet.
First I want to be sure that this is a failure of the media. Maybe there is a workaround or something else I can do or check.
Like copy the media to harddisk and change the signature if possible.
I think the boxed dvd might be slightly different to the one you can download. Does anyone els know?
Otherwise, I would say try:
Creating an .iso from the dvd
Then start a torrent download of the same dvd. Then stop it.
Rename your created .iso exactly the same as the torrent dvd
Paste the created and re-named .iso in to the download location of the torrent download (it should ask you to overwrite?)=Yes
Force re-check of the torrent.
I am having the same problem. I tried downloading the dvd and installing it that way but I get the same error. It says that it has something to do with “GRUB” and that the correct partition does not exist when loading. After it finishes, and you restart your computer, nothing happens. I had to go back and reinstall 11.0. I am new to Linux and not really good when it comes to getting in the details, so any advice would be very useful. Thanks…

Don’t think it’s supposed to be. There’s some bugs that are unfixed in the download DVD which probably would have made it into 11.1, but for the GM deadline, more than a week before the release.
Despite this, in the US they disks are going out too late, partly due to holidays.
You’ld think, if you buy a box set you’ld want higher quality, so to me it makes sense to make a ‘Net’ Release, and then go ‘Gold’ a month or so later when the bugs are shaken out.
But that might endanger sales I suppose. Despite users constantly saying they ‘just want it to work’ and want ‘stability’ the fact is they tend to go for the latest and greatest, like lemmings.
If someone with box media, could run this script posted in Verify a burned install DVD - openSUSE Forums then using the MD5 sum would tell us without any big downloads if the ISO’s are identical or not.
Presumably one of the points, of seperating non-OSS out was so box sets and net release could be identical. In old days, buying the box set, got you extra non-redistributable commercial stuff, that was commonly used but a fairly big download (a royal pain at time with a modem).
The process for user burning of optical media is entirely different than commercial pressing. This isn’t to say that there cannot be a defect with the latter, but it is significantly better than what a user can do with software burning.
@asktaht: “cd:/content: Invalid signature” may be an issue with what is on the DVD, as opposed to a physical defect in the pressing. That’s just as educated guess.
@JasonMcWhorter: your problem sounds entirely different. I think you will do better with your own thread specific to your problem - these “invalid install” threads tend to get filled up with multiple users having what are actually totally different technical issues, and as a result your own can sort of get buried.
I have the same problem.
I download dvd from web
dvd md5 is OK
I can read /content from instalation kernell
but I have Invallid signature message, Installation aborted
I am using 11.1 i586
net i586 have the same problem, repository have invalid signature
Have you done the “media check” from the menu?
si, its OK
