Hello,

I am trying to install R6.00.08 on an older machine to use as a MBE only. Durring the install I get a lot of these errors:
Code:
write_file: failed to read data block 0xHEX
read_fragment: failed to read fragment #


It seems to ignore those erros, and keeps on going. After it finishes though the system does not boot.

I thought it could be a bad drive so I fired up UBCD and ran the Hard Drive Fitness Test. The drive passed several times.

I thought it could be the disk so I downloaded and made a new one, but still no change.

Perhaps R6 just does not like the older hardware.
Dual P3 1GHz CPU's
Asus CUR-DLS Motherboard
2GB PC133 ECC Memory
30GB IDE boot driver
4x 160GB SATA on SuperMicro 8x SATA card

Could be a bad cd drive or burner or media or media incompatibility.

Actually I think its the same problem I had with a Dell PE1550 that also uses a ServerWorks chipset. The installer boots, but when trying to access the IDE drive to install the system it fails to correctly access the drive.

I had the same problem with Ubuntu 8.04. I think the it was fixed in RHEL, but not sure if that also made it to CentOS. I am going to give that a try, and see if CentOS will install.

In the meantime I have another motherboard without the ServerWorks chips that I can try to do the installation on, and then move the drive into this system.
