[arch-general] arch linux install iso problem
Hello. I downloaded the most recent arch linux dual-boot install iso (from 2015-04-01). - checked it with md5 and sha1 against checksums from the website. Also did gpg verify. All okay. - burned to cd using Brasero. Verified cd from within Brasero. Okay. - verified by loop mounting, per website. Okay. Then booted cd. Got to initial menu, chose 64-bit install (computer is 64-bit). Then it stalls out, with error messages (can't copy because can't complete boot process). Sort of like: :: Triggering uevents . . . ... blk_update request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector 1226572 ... blk_update request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector 1226572 ... Buffer I/O error on dev sr0, logical block 153344, async page read :: Mounting '/dev/disk/by-label/ARCH_201504' ^@ERROR: device did not show up after 30 seconds . . . I burned another cd, and got the same exact results, including the same exact error messages. I have had no other problems making and using other cds or dvds, including images of other distributions < ducks : ) > Note: I can (and have) installed ARCH on the same computer, using the Evo/lution 0.4 installer - works fine. But I want to learn to install The Arch Way. So, is the Arch iso from 2015-04-01 defective as published? Or, what else might be wrong?
Forgot to say, I tried again, using a different 64-bit computer. Same exact results! On Mon, Apr 13, 2015 at 12:55 PM, Francis Gerund <ranrund@gmail.com> wrote:

This is gonna sound silly, but try using something other than Brasero, like cdw or bashburn. I've had Brasero burn corrupt CDs for me in the past when the commandline tools worked fine, and ever since then I refuse to use it. On Mon, Apr 13, 2015, at 14:55, Francis Gerund wrote:

check the label of the iso, you can do it with "file ...iso" although the I/O errors suggest the CD is unreadable. -- damjan
When I do: file /run/media/default/USBHD005/New_stuff/Archlinux/archlinux-2015.04.01-dual.iso I get: archlinux-2015.04.01-dual.iso: # ISO 9660 CD-ROM filesystem data 'ARCH_201504 ' (bootable) On Mon, Apr 13, 2015 at 2:04 PM, Damjan Georgievski <gdamjan@gmail.com> wrote:

To Damjan, Sounds like a bad burn. Can you try booting via USB? Regards, Mark
Well, I'll be [darned]! Burned another cd manually, using wodim, then verified it, as per the website. It worked. So it does seem to be a problem with Brasero, after all. Thanks guys. On Mon, Apr 13, 2015 at 2:51 PM, Mark Lee <mark@markelee.com> wrote:

Join the club of Brasero haters. That issue existed at least 2-3 years ago when I used it last. Incredible. On Mon, Apr 13, 2015, at 16:42, Francis Gerund wrote:

Might it be because of the backend? Were you using cdrkit or cdrtools? -- Mauro Santos

It's been too long for me to remember; I haven't had to burn a CD in ages since most BIOSes I touch support USB-booting.
