Hi Evan,

So to see you have hardware problem. Your description would suggest that
your DVD-rom(hardware) is filty, try with cleaning lenses. If this is not
case than erase MBR on your primery HDD.

Hi there,

I've got a server - p4 3ghz, supermicro 5014c mobo, 2x512 pc3500,
2x160GB sata hdd, 16x dvdr etc.

Anyway it was previously running suse9.2 fine. Gone through some changes
but i tried to upgrade it to 10.0 and it had some issues where the
installer was saying it was missing packages. I had previously used the
same installation media on another machine and it worked fine. So i
thought id do a clean install on it... same problem. Did the check media
thing during installation and it said it failed md5 checksum. I tried
the disk on another machine and it installed fine.

Probably a poorly CDROM drive, if you can't swap this out do an FTP/network
install.
If you do this I'd suggest you use the current 10.2 version (any specific
reason you want 10.0?) as most of the online mirrors for 10.0 have
disappeared.
