SHA1 sum wrong

English Install/Boot/Login

I downloaded and burned 11.1 Beta 5 x86_64 DVD. When I boot, select ‘Installation’ it loads kernel and then gives the error:

file: var/adm/mount/boot/x86_64/common: SHA1 sum wrong

How do I check this? I believe the locations of correct SHA1sum is:

Index of /distribution/11.1-Beta5/iso

and the file is:

http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.1-Beta5/iso/openSUSE-11.1-Beta5-DVD-x86_64.iso.sha1

My question is how do I determine the SHA1sum of the .iso file I downloaded?

open the .iso in k3b is probably the easiest way

or follow this help: NEWBIES - Suse-11.0 Pre-installation – PLEASE READ - openSUSE Forums

the burned media should also be checked, there is a ‘media check’ option when you boot the dvd

Thanks for the reply. However what you are suggesting relates to the md5sum. The error is about SHA1sum. On the 11.1 installs that I am burning there is no ‘Check Installation Media’ which is also incorrect.

The answer is very similar to checking md5sum from command line:

doofus@linux-#$%^&:~/Download> sha1sum openSUSE-11.1-Beta5-DVD-x86_64.iso
81113cc5201bcfcfb52e1a61d49ecb1490572a82  openSUSE-11.1-Beta5-DVD-x86_64.iso
doofus@linux-#$%^&:~/Download> md5sum openSUSE-11.1-Beta5-DVD-x86_64.iso
793e487eb299df6bede87de3d722cc6f  openSUSE-11.1-Beta5-DVD-x86_64.iso

Both of which match so the error is in error.:’(::o:sarcastic:

I don’t know beta5 but it reads to me like that message is referring to one particular file, not the whole iso. Of course, that message could also be a false alarm.
