I'm trying to install Puppy Linux on a Dell Inspiron 5000.
I burned bionicpup32-8.0-uefi.iso to a bootable CD, and booted from it. I selected the "normal" menu option.
It starts with "copying to ram".
After working a while, I got errors like
Code: Select all
sr 1:0:0:0: [sr0] tag#0 Add. Sense: CIRC unrecovered error
blk_update_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector 385480
Further down errors:
Code: Select all
cp: read error: I/O error
sr0 /puppy_upupbb_19.03.sfs mount of sfs failed.
Error is too critical dropping to console...
I read the "read this first" article that explains the extract to RAM.
Does this error mean there is not enough RAM? This system is Pentium 3 with 1 G RAM, which appears to meet the requirements.
Or does it mean the CD-R didn't burn correctly? CIRC error is like a CRC error? (edit - yes CIRC is used in CDs - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-int ... mon_coding)
If the issue is RAM, is there a way to directly install to HD if it is unpartitioned and I want to install to HD anyway?
