[Server-devel] Possible problem with school server image

[Carol Lerche]

Symptoms:

Downloaded twice and got the same md5sum on both downloads, to wit:
ade95bcbccf1bc7409615472f85ca8b3

Twice, burned CDROM (on two different machines), each time after booting
from CDROM, when choosing the third option:  verify and run from image, get
I/O error at block 229586, then message

Verifying ISO image...
/dev/root: could not get pvd data
Unable to read the disc checksum from the primary volume descriptor.
This probably means the disk was created without adding the checksum.Bug in
init
ramfs /init detected.
Dropping to a shell.
Good luck!

It does drop to a shell.  I want to know before going farther, whether this
is just a packaging error or whether the image is bad.  Further, it would be
helpful if the md5sum could be separately saved in the download directory,
so that at least one could verify if the download was  successful.

Thanks.
