No booting with OpenSuse 11.1 LiveCD with AMD Athlon 64

English Install/Boot/Login

Dear all,

I am just trying to install the opensuse 11.1 on an AMD Athlon 64 with 1 Gbyte of RAM using the LiveCD that I downloaded a few hours ago from the opensuse web page (I downloaded the 64 bit version).

Booting from LiveCD seems to run well (i.e. the progress bar appears). But at the end of booting (just when the progress bar reaches 100%) the text console appears and a sort of errors are displayed for the init script.

In particular, for instance, when the HAL daemon is loaded it displays the following error:

/usr/sbin/hald: error while loading shared libraries: libdbus-glib-1.so.2: cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory

more errors of these type appear in the console for the other daemons that have to be loaded (avahi,…).

If I enter as root and check ‘ldd /usr/sbin/hald’ it effectively tells me that the system finds all the required libraries except the previous mentioned one.

By trying to find this library using the ‘find’ utility no results appear. Thus, it seems that this file does not exist on the CD.

Anyone does know what may happen ? Is the LiveCD correct ?

Best and thanks a lot for your help!

Hmm, did you do an md5 checksum before burning the cd ? Personally, i use the dvd for installs as it contains much more & is handy if you haven’t got internet

Thanks. I’m now downloading DVD iso file, and I’ll check md5…

Make sure you check the md5 of the iso, then preferably when booting DVD choose to check it or make an iso image of the DVD you burned the image on and check the md5 against it again.
