I checked the CD Media for errors, worked very fine otherwise. Did a installation from same CD to different hardware piece eServer xSeries Blade thing from IBM, worked like charm. Now since i changed the ROM drive and other things in the machine, either there is some incompatibility b/w the hardware and kernel 2.6.x or anaconda. Since the same CD works on different hardware as mentioned. The hardware is cPCI-6860A based system from ADLINK Technologies, comes with SCSI card from MPT Details over here. http://www.powerbridge.de/daten_e/p_picmg2.16-cpu/cpci-6860/cpci-6860.htm ours is, 2Ghz 2 way LV Xeon processors On Wed, 16 Feb 2005 21:29:06 +0800, John Summerfield <debian@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On Wednesday 16 February 2005 13:07, Jaswinder Singh Kohli wrote: > > It is always giving same error, > > error -2147483630 reading header: cpio read failed - Success > > There's a buif in cpio right there. > The negative number is nonseens, and "cpio read failed - Success" > means that cpio detected an error, presumably in a read operation, and then > then used some function that worked before saving errno or creating a useful > error message. > > The missing information _may_ help you resolve the problem.
