bcondemi Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 I recently downloaded preview 9 and burned to cd.(no problem)I booted from the cd and the boot screen came up. After hitting enter, the next boot screen came up with the progress meter. About 5 seconds later, I get an 'UNABLE TO MOUNT LOOP FILE SYSTEM' erroor and the machine goes dead.What could be wrong? I have no problem booting from the preview 81 live cd.Bruno(2) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teacher Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 You have a bad burn of the CD. That happened to me on the first burn and I did not check it. I redownloaded and burned and that problem went away completely. Did you check the md5sum or were you like me and a bit lazy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used nero (in windows to burn the .iso) twice.The second time I burned at minimum speed to try and avoid errors.Maybe I'll boot from the preview 81 and burn the .isoBruno(2) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 Hi B2If I remember correctly you have a nforce mobo . . . . . in that case you better try the pclinuxos-p9-alt.iso you can get it here: http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distri...nglish/preview/Please download it in Linux and save it to your /home/bruno . . . . then after the download give the command: $ md5sum /home/bruno/pclinuxos-p9-alt.iso This will produce an output you should compare to this: f2d98d9a657e378d88ade51ca134256a pclinuxos-p9-alt.isoIf the output is 100% the same as the quote above you can be sure the download is okay.Then rightclick the ISO file and choose "action" --> "burn CD image with k3b" to burn the ISO to CD ( really the Linux tool is much better then Nero )This version of PCLos has much better sata support so you should not have the same problems you had with version 8 :DB) Bruno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
