Re: Isolinux disk error 20; AX=4280, drive EF

[Ed Westphal <enwestph@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Larry. Not even getting to a boot prompt. First time, it was saying: 'Press any key to try again'. - gives same results.
I've been Googling the above. It seems that there are some incompatibilities that others have reported with Isolinux? I'm wondering if others here have seen the problem here? I know about the checksum error thing. I've done other installs from CD's without a problem. Thought a DVD would be a better install medium. Perhaps with my Intel D875PBZ motherboard, there is a conflict loading ISO images? Don't know. Haven't found any workarounds if that is indeed the case. I have the latest Intel bios. Is there one install medium provider that most prefer? To be sure to get good disks. I'd prefer getting a disk(s) from someone rather than trying to burn my own. Thoughts, advice appreciated. Thanks.

Boot from the DVD and at the boot prompt, type "linux mediacheck" (without the quote marks).
That will check the DVD, to see if it checks out OK. That said, a few days ago, I installed from a
DVD that did not pass "linux mediacheck" and that box is running OK. YMMV. HTH
