Hi, While investigating why the Xen 1.2 Demo CD won''t boot on a particular laptop, I noticed the download image appears to be truncated. "isoinfo -d -i xendemo-1.2.iso" reports: Logical block size is: 2048 Volume size is: 294080 That would suggest the image size should be 294080 * 2048 = 602275840 bytes. However I only have 292376 * 2048 = 598786048 bytes. The web server directory listing agrees with this short value: xendemo-1.2.iso 21-Feb-2004 10:42 574M To confirm real files are affected, I checked the listing from "isoinfo -l -R -i xendemo-1.2.iso", which reports that /share/zoneinfo/Europe/Belfast is at block 292376. Sure enough, the file Athens is readable but Belfast gives an error when the image is mounted using loop back. Note that because I burned this image to CD with padding a few files including Belfast are actually readable from the CD, but they just contain zeroes. In both cases Zurich is unreadable. Presumably none of these missing files are crucial or somebody would have noticed sooner. However I thought I should report this just in case somebody is suffering from these read errors. Perhaps the full image exists somewhere but wasn''t properly uploaded?

On the server: ls -lL xendemo-1.2.iso -rw-r--r-- 1 root daemon 602275840 Feb 21 10:42 xendemo-1.2.iso md5sum xendemo-1.2.iso 15e07e08c86edc4128943f65778db624 xendemo-1.2.iso I''ll add the md5sum to the web page.

Hi, Thanks for your prompt response and apologies for my delay. I was waiting to follow the thread via Source Forge''s mailing list archive, but it still seems out of date so I''ve just subscribed instead.> I think something must have gone wrong with your particular > download. > > On the server: ls -lL xendemo-1.2.iso > -rw-r--r-- 1 root daemon 602275840 Feb 21 10:42 xendemo-1.2.isoIndeed it had, so sorry for troubling you. Somehow Mozilla silently failed to finish the download, and it wasn''t immediately obvious since the web server only listed the file length in Mb.> md5sum xendemo-1.2.iso > 15e07e08c86edc4128943f65778db624 xendemo-1.2.iso > > I''ll add the md5sum to the web page.I''ve now downloaded the newer image and confirmed it''s MD5. I have some further comments, but I think they deserve new subject headers...
