I got the same error when I tried to install 9.1rc2 the other day. The
CD looked fine when I browsed it, but failed on the install. It turned
out to be caused by a bad disk image. Have you verified the checksum on
your CD1 image?

When trying to install 9.1 RC1, I get the following error and then the
computer just freezes:
"Could not uncompress second state ramdisk. This is probably a
hardware error while reading the data. (This may be caused by a hardware
failure or a Linux Kernel bug)"
The log window shows:
* trying to load /tmp/image/Mandrake/base/mdinst_state2.bz2 as a ramdisk
* reading compressed ramdisk: IO_ERROR
* unsetting automatic
The kernel messages show:
<6> end_request: I/O error, dev 03:40 (hdb), sector 1148956

This computer has an ASUS A7N8X motherboard with the integrated
NVIDIA nForce 2 chipset. It also has an AMD XP 2000 CPU.
BTW, I get the same errors when trying to install Mandrake 9.0.
I currently have Mandrake 8.1 installed
but I installed it on my drive using a different computer.
