Hi,

I'm trying to install x86 LiveCD 2006.0 . When I try to boot the CD I always get the same error.

- Burn with 3 differents CD-Burner
- Burn with ISO from different places.
- Tested with 2 different computer...
- Nothing special on my hardware. Everything was working fine with 2005.x .

Here's the error:

I think it may be a Live CD issue then, I guess I'll just download the Universal 2006.0, I was planning on a command line installation anyway.

If anyone does find out the problem, please do let me know!

What software did you use to burn the ISO?
If you used Nero, then you should enable Disc-at-once and finalize the CD.

P.S. Where's the link for Universal 2006.0 x86 CD? I couldn't find it anywhere
and on the downloads page it says that the Universal CD has been replaced with the
Installer LiveCD.

I am getting the same issue with the AMD64 live cd,
I was burning it with DeepBurner,
I just thought it was a bad iso, I will try a disc at once burn, I was just going to do another command line install, then I got all excited when I saw the live CD screen shots

Oh, I guess I forgot to mention that I was using the 2006.0 LiveCD. I have not tried the minimal. I already have gentoo on this system...I just wanted to try out the LiveCD and see the graphical installer

I used Nero on Windows XP to burn the disc. I used Disk-At-Once and finalized the disc...used the same process that I have always used to burn gentoo / various linux ISOs, so it shouldn't be a problem with that.

Did any of you fine gentlemen/ladies did a md5sum check on the ISO? What site did you get if from? was it from the Gentoo mirror list? I use Alcohol in windows and nero in L1nux and it never fails.

I burned the disc 4x, Bios settings seem ok, I am installing to a serial ATA drive.
Not sure if it makes a difference but its the AMD64 cd, I tried from 5 dif mirrors.
I am going to try a fresh image again tonight.

The AMD 2006.0 image appears to be pooched, I got this on 3 dif mirrors.

Segmentation fault

I found a another image here http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/gentoo/experimental/amd64/livecd/livecd-amd64-installer-2006.0.iso
It is only 691 megs vs the 724. I guess the other mirrors have not been updated.

I was getting a kernel panic when trying to use the 2006.0 livecd on my laptop and booting nofb seemed to fix it. However, 2006 doesn't detect my wireless card and 2005.1 does!

I can also confirm this strange error on 2006.1 x86 Live. Burned the disc with Alcohol 120% at 12x. Checked the md5sum as well. Nothing seems to be wrong except for the LiveCD itself

I get the same error, and i DID do a md5 checksum on the ISO, and it was ok.
I'll try to re-burn the cd in a different drive, and maybe at a lower speed and see what happens.

edit: It worked.. finalized the burn and enabled disk-at-once in nero, and burn in another burner.. and it seems to be working ok!

I have had the same problem with the x86 LiveCd I so far have not been able to fix the problem but I have downloaded it 2 times and once it downloaded 250mb and then the second time it downloaded 150mb So it isn't downloading the whole file... (I downloaded these from different mirrors) The Error im getting is

ISOLINUX 3.09 2005-06-17 Copyright (C) 1994-2005 H. Perer Anvin isolinux: Disk Error 20, AX = 420B, drive EF
Boot failed: press a key to retry...

So now I ame trying to download via a torrent. I will keep you posed on my progress. (I burned this CD 3 times with 2 different programs and the third time on 1x, Then I reliezed that the file sizes were different. Also I tried to reset the bios settings.)
Also I tried to boot the cd on 2 seperate computers. Niether of them worked.
I don't know if my problem is the same as the one that you are having...

I finished downloading the liveCD with a torrent file and burned it with nero express 6 on 40x and it booted up and worked. Hope this helps.
