I have tried four times to burn the 'openSUSE-10.2-RC1-DVD-i386.iso' image

some clues?

do you use a rw media?

I burned four write-once normal dvds: all are wrong, but equally wrong,
all have the same wrong checksum.

I also tried to burn a RW unit, but it failed completely. I can not even
reformat it, perhaps it is not compatible wiht my burner. No idea about
that one.

The burner is relatively new, two months.


did you try to boot the dvd? if it boot, try using the yast test media option

I haven't yet.

if it don't boot, try the test media option in an installed yast

Didn't know that was possible. Doing it now. You mean yast of 10.1 testing
the dvd of 10.2?

Is it possible that there is something in an iso image that may prevent it
from correct burning?

a failure on a part of the medium

But how can four different DVDs have an error in the same way? The errors
would be random, they would not have all the same checksum


I had the same thing with RW cd, I had two failed RW medium on my collection
(too old?) - all the others run well.

I also had a pack of new dvd r+ that couldn't write all - they got an error in
the burning process (but the result was legible - at least as much as I can
see, there are video)

Three came from the same box that I have burned the other 20 Ok, the
fourth from a new box.

[...]

Yast says the DVD is correct:

Check started (/dev/hdc)...
Identification: openSUSE-10.2-dvd5-download-10.2
Medium: CD1
Size: 3609402 kB
Result: OK


Weird and more weird. The checksum says it is incorrect, Yast says it is
Ok.. Diff program error reading from device?
