[solved]: general installation problem

Hello,

today I wanted to install V7.005 on a Dell Optiplex GX260 for testing purposes. When the process came to the point, he wanted to verify the package checksums, I was told, that the installation failed.

I looked at another console-screen (I guess Alt-F3) and saw some messages with a problem at /install/install that there was a file missing.

Okay, the CDs not mounted, I recognized. So I rebooted and coming to the last F8-point, I mounted the CD manually and the installation worked fine.

How did it come to this problem? My Astaro-Reseller told me months ago (as I reported the problem with 6.x first), that there is no problem. Now this happens once again. So I saw, that my PC has not only a DVD-ROM but also a DVD-RW. After disconnecting the drive, everything works fine. So I guess, the installation-process can't handle these two optical drives. Is it a bug or a feature? Well, al least, I can live with it anyway....

Regards,
Tom

Astaro supports only one hard drive and cdrom in a system... a lot of install problems arise when this rule is broken.

It's okay, cause we use dedicated hardware for a firewall. I was only surprised, because other Linux-Systems (Debian, Ubuntu, SuSE.... #insert your own favourite#) have no problems.... *smiles*

On the other hand... supporting a DVD-RW for saving logs and config-files would be a good idea, too! Maybe this feature will com with V8?

I'm in a similar situation and was just about to ask the same question about why the installation just stopped. But now I have a related question. Would it be OK to use just the DVD-RW?

1 HD, 1 Optical drive. Optical drive can be CD, DVD, whatever, but there can be only one.
