Or the file went corrupt wen burning it or your torrent download went wrong. But normally the files are complete and working.

Check if your torrent was complete and if the ISO was burned correctly.

Have you checked the md5 sum for your .iso? Use the command

openSUSE-11.1-DVD-i586.iso

The result should be 8f51b278c0415be28c5699e465444bd3

If that value is OK, then the burn was bad.

I think that since that the download worked for the vast majority of people, it’s more logical to assume that the problem was with your download or your install, not with everybody elses.

Perhaps if you post details of what you did, it might help us help you.

  1. Always check the MD5 sum of the image after download.
  2. Always verify the burn by reading back the disk. Details depend on the burn program.
  3. Always run the media test just before install.

I have a similar problem and it is driving me crazy.

Downloaded iso (11.1 dvd/64 bit version)

Size: 4.658.399.232 bytes

#md5sum openSUSE-11.1-DVD-x86_64.iso
2afee1b8a87175e6dee2b8dbbd1ad8e8 openSUSE-11.1-DVD-x86_64.iso

Woohoo. Looking good.

Burn the disk as an iso with K3B on opensuse 11.0

Verify bad, md5sum mismatch.

Read the disk as an iso with k3b, makes si1110.001.iso

Size: 4.658.429.952 bytes

md5sum - no good.

After 5 tries, 5 coasters.

Try burning it on a Windows xp box using Roxio copy disk thing.
Exact same problem. Two coasters produced.

Again, with new DVD (the others were pretty old)
Exact same problem - writes an oversize iso.

Never had this kind of problem before not with 11.0 or 10.3 or anything else. Any ideas?

That’s why i use RW disks for such thingsrotfl! Personally i never had problems with the consistency of the disk, i had it only once but the DVD was rewritten at least hundred times so i needed a new one;)

By the way, what is the vendor of Your disks guys?? If that is some generic crap then try another one and check if it burns good. At windows times some DVD disks vendors didn’t cope too well with my DVD writer;)

Hi. I had problems with my download, too. If the checksum of your downloaded image is wrong, here’s a way to repair broken images so that you don’t need to download the whole DVD again:
Download Help - openSUSE

@Scumop: As burning fails on both operating systems, windows and openSUSE, I would think it’s a hardwareproblem.
