package: installer
version: 3.1


I sent an email about an hour ago regarding the failure of the Debian 3.1
(sarge) installer.  It was ignored because I didn't have the correct
header format. It went into the junk file.  I hope this works.

the packages will not load because of disk errors.  As explained
previously I loaded the linux distribution on a machine which was
running XP for about 3 years without error.  I completely erased XP and
loaded Linux.  I got the error and went back and cleaned and reformatted
the disk .  I had no errors when I reformatted the disk.  It was clean
and as far as I can tell had no disk errors.  Again I loaded 3.1 and the
basic system loaded ok and when it
came to loading the packages I got the disk errors again.

Here is what I got:
Drive ready seek complete error
Status 0x51
error 0x30

It also listed the sectors involved in the error.

I don't know what to do next.  Do I buy another hard disk? I think its a
software  distrubution error but I since this is my first attempt to
load Debian I don't know for sure.

Could it be the CD ROMS that I bought?

Help!!!!!

Thanks

Gerry

We are closing this installation report for one of the following
reasons:
- it was reported with a pre-lenny version of Debian
  Installer.
- indications in the installation report give the feeling that
  the reported problem waslying in another software, unrelated to
  D-I, which we can't easily identify.
- indications in the installation report suggest that it may have been
  fixed in a more recent version of a D-I component
- it was successful and we forgot closing it..:-)
- it has no information we consider useful


The D-I team is currently in the process of cleaning out the old spool
of installation reports that haven't bene processed yet. 

In case you think that the problem you reported has chances to be
still present, please reiterate your installation test with
a more recent image of D-I, if you're in position of doing this.

You'll find daily builds at
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer. We recommend you choose
the netboot image, in the "daily builds section", then choose to
install "squeeze" when prompted.

If some problems are found, please report them with a new bug sent
against installation-reports.

Many thanks for your understanding and your help improving Debian,
past and present.
