I've tried two mirrors, on which both fail as so: # md5sum -c stage3-i686-2006.0.tar.bz2.DIGESTS stage3-i686-2006.0.tar.bz2: FAILED md5sum: WARNING: 1 of 1 computed checksum did NOT match What I want to know, before continuing with this install, which is wrong, the digest, or the tar.bz2?
I decided to try my luck and un-tar it. This is the result. ./usr/share/doc/binutils-2.16.1/bfd/ChangeLog.gz tar: Skipping to next header tar: Archive contains obsolescent base-64 headers bzip2: Data integrity error when decompressing. Input file = (stdin), output file = (stdout) It is possible that the compressed file(s) have become corrupted. You can use the -tvv option to test integrity of such files. You can use the `bzip2recover' program to attempt to recover data from undamaged sections of corrupted files. tar: Child returned status 2 tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors So I guess this means the tar is corrupted? On multiple mirrors?
you didnt actually say *which* mirrors the md5sum's are just fine for me using gentoo.osuosl.org
Corrupted tar.bz2 on *at LEAST* the following mirrors (haven't tried more): http://gentoo.osuosl.org/releases/x86/2006.0/stages/stage3-i686-2006.0.tar.bz2 http://gentoo.cites.uiuc.edu/pub/gentoo/releases/x86/2006.0/stages/stage3-i686-2006.0.tar.bz2 http://gentoo.chem.wisc.edu/gentoo/releases/x86/2006.0/stages/stage3-i686-2006.0.tar.bz2
Ok, x86 seems broken too, just to verify this isn't shoddy hardware, I'm downloading it with a different box... pending...
I thought that memory stick was dying. Shoddy hardware. Sorry bout that. -> INVALID
