[Solved] Error uncompress Nr 9 installing the system.

hadso · 2011-10-18 19:03:10

Hi everybody.
I was looking for information about my problem, but I didn't found anything.
The problem is:
When I'm installing the system, after I had formatted the HD, at the 5% it says: xz uncompress failed with error code 9
After that, it's looks, like it's downloading the system, is always stays frozen 1546/25568 and doesn't advance.
I tried twice time, but I always had the same error

Here an screenshot:
scaled.php?tn=0&server=863&filename=h5s.png&xsize=640&ysize=640

What can I do?
I would like to install this beautiful SO

Greetings!

Hi hadso,

Which release are you using, which arch (32 or 64 bit) and which filesystem did you choose for your system? Ext 4 is recommended. Since you're unable to unsquashfs, it may also be that the data on the CD/USB is corrupted and you need to either burn a new CD/re-install the .iso on a flashdisk or download the .iso again.

You need to check for:

bad media (solution: try burning the iso image to a new disc)
bad memory modules (solution: use memtest86+ to check your memory)
a corrupted iso image (solution: run an md5 checksum, and if they don't match, download the iso image again)

Last answer is as good as a wiki page; I suggest making one about this.

I'm using 32 bit, and formatted on Ext4.
I have checked the ISO by MD5SUM, and it was OK.
I'm downloading the ISO again, and I'll burn in an USB one more time.

Thanks a lot!!

I have checked the ISO by MD5SUM, and it was OK.
I burnt it in a Pendrive and I tried to install the SO, but I have the same problem. This time, at %22.
Why? What can I do?
Thanks!

can you run fdisk on the destination disk?

# fdisk -l /dev/sda

(if sda is the correct disk)

Yes I can. It's shows me the partitions made by Archbang when I tried to install it.

Mr Green · 2011-10-20 00:13:32

So Archbang is on usb device where are you trying to install to?

Are you setting up custom partition table or allowing archbang to auto prepare?

Can you give output from fdisk [using code tags please] while running Archbang live?

pablokal · 2011-10-20 02:49:41

I would with a live CD start up gparted and partition the destination drive again and try to reinstall.
Be careful that during partitioning your swap partition is not used by the live CD and if so select the swap partition and swap off.

Finally I burned the ISO in the PENDRIVE with Unetbootin, from Lubuntu, and It works!
Thanks a lot!!!

ArchVortex · 2011-10-20 12:21:11

Excellent to hear! I have yet to have success installing Arch or ArchBang from unetbootin ever. I always get errors and dd if=archlinux.iso of=/dev/sd[x] is the only way for me to install onto and install from a usb

Mr Green · 2011-10-20 12:41:16

unetbootin only seems to work with the 'buntu distros. dd is the quickest and easiest [providing you get the right drive]

But anyway glad you got it working that is the main thing

archerix · 2012-01-25 22:37:05

Is this the only solution??

Burn the ISO using Unetbootin? What?

I am commenting from AB but I got the same error on installing the system:

xz uncompress failed with error code 9

So now I have to reboot, burn the ISO image using Unetbootin?

hadso · 2012-01-25 22:45:15

Try:

$ dd if=archlinux.iso of=/dev/sd[x]

archerix · 2012-01-25 23:16:02

That what was I used before..

Now my Netbook can't boot any Linux Live USB anymore..
It gave error like : cpu1 not responding
And then it shutdown by itself.. -.-

I am trying to boot Windows 7 right now..I don't know what to do when none of this works for me..

archerix · 2012-01-25 23:18:40

No Linux distro can boot into it except boot-repair-disk and Gparted.. ~_~

turBOT · 2012-05-02 07:15:15

I'm getting the same error when bootin an USB stick made by:

dd if=archlinux.iso of=/dev/sd[x]

Burning the ISO with Unetbootin didn't worked for me, Archbang seems not to be willing to boot this way for me.

Any other solution?

Mr Green · 2012-05-02 09:42:31

You may have more luck with

sudo dd if=archbang.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=8M

Tried this one before, but with the same effect. Repeated the whole process - downloading the image, checking it with md5sum, creating an USB stick with several commands/programms, bootin (in most cases succesfully) and trying to install Archbang - now about 5 times. Everytime without any success.

And I thought installing Archbang would be easier than installing Arch itself (which worked for me in the past).

Any ideas?

Edit: By adding

bs=8m

the dd progress is only speed up a bit, isn't it?

And sure, I've chosen the right image. I've only copied the code-snippet from a post above.

Well the iso name might be different, if you are in the directory the image is then tab completion should sort that.

Make sure usb drive is not mounted.

Also check in /dev the drive name ie /dev/sd<x>

Make sure you have the right drive letter!!

Without wanting to state the obvious, bs = block size. There's a calculation you can do to get the optimum size (something based on heads divided by sectors multiplied by something or other - I forget)

Can you confirm the error message you get when trying to boot up?

Thanks for the tipps. Will test it again following your tipps and will test it again with unetbootin - an update just came in, maybe the solution of my problem, but improbably.

I solved this problem by booting from an external DVD-drive. Now installation process stops at 9% with this kernel panic:

Kernel panic during phase 3; minor annoyance with cfdisk [solved]

Additionally this kernel panic was also showing up when booting from HDD into my old buggy archlinux system.

Arch Linux
