I'm trying to do a fresh netinst of Squeeze on a new desktop, and it's
hanging in "Select and install software". I looked at console 4 while it was
hanging and saw 8-line kernel errors like this ad nauseam:
sr 0:0:0:0: [sr0] Sense Key: Medium error [current]
sr 0:0:0:0: [sr0] Add. Sense: Unrecovered read error
sr 0:0:0:0: [sr0] CDB: Read(10): 28 00 00 00 00 1e 00 00 02 00
end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector 120
Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block 30
Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block 31
sr 0:0:0:0: [sr0] Unhandled sense code
sr 0:0:0:0: [sr0] Result: hostbyte=DID_OK driverbyte=DRIVER_SENSE
So it's failing to read the CD. Other possibly useful info:
The motherboard is an Intel DH55HC, and the CD/DVD drive is a Toshiba
Samsung DVD Writer Model TS-H663.
The info file on the CD says
Debian GNU/Linux 6.0.0 "Squeeze" - Official i386 NETINST Binary-1 \
20110205-14:34
With another desktop and CD/DVD drive, I verified the checksums on the CD
with
md5sum -c md5sum.txt | grep -v 'OK$'
I also made a second CD and failed with that.
If I try to install netinst 5.0.2 with the new desktop and drive, it can't
find the CD drive. But a netinst install of 5.0.8 completed successfully.
I would give up and stick with that if Lenny debian-multimedia weren't
busted.
During the failed 6.0.0 install, the CD is successfully read quite a bit
before it hangs. I found over 30000 files installed on /dev/sda1 (mounted
on /target).
I'd appreciate any suggestions on how to get the Squeeze install working.
Thanks.
