在google上搜索到关于这个问题的讨论!好像和光驱有关,e文不太好!大家看看!
am trying to install Mandrake as second operating system as dual boot with windows XP , I am prompted with the following message
Could not uncompress second stage of ram disk, this is probably to a hardware error while reading the data. This maybe caused by a hardware failure or Linux bug
The PC is couple of days old, brand new,
PC specs as follow
Pentium 4
256 DDR Ram
NVIDIA graphics card 128 MB Ram
120 GB Seagate hard drive
I have also tried swapping the Ram with another, as well as the graphic card to no avail
Furthermore, I have tried the installation on another PC and I have received the same response as above.
Any advice tip or hint would be grateful; I am also totally new to Linux system.

i heard it before on net..
i found a discussion about your problem;
it begins like ;
"
it boots to a 'welcome' screen and then says "could not uncompress second stage ramdisk".
there are still hardware bugs in the Kernel that is being used in Mandrake 8.1 (2.4.8-26mdk). It offered the solution of loading another boot img on floppy when you start the installation. This makes sence as I have installed about 15 different linux distributions on my PC so I know with some certainty that Linux runs with all my hadrware with previous kernel versions.
When I used my Phillips 4x4x24 CD-RW drive for installation I recieved the same error message you did, and when I used my slave CDRom drive (generic atapi drive) then I had no problems with the install.
If I were in your place I would try the following:
1. Use another boot img (you stated you could not get rawwrite to work)
2. Download an older release of Mandrake or another distrabution to see if that works (with your connection speed I would not attempt downloading another iso)
3. If you have another PC use the CD Rom drive from that PC until you get Mandrake installed.
