Hello,
today I've tried to install Slackware 12.0
As the installer just "skipped" some install steps, I tried to find the
error.
The problem seems to be unreadable parts on the DVD:

But the DVD is OK. I've checked the MD5sum directly from disc on the
same system using the same DVD drive.
dmesg says:

The kernel, used on the Slackware setup disk, uses SMP, but my hardware
doesn't support this (get error on dmesg). May this (SMP kernel on
non-SMP system) cause such bugs?
Is this a known bug? How could code, which breaks DVD access, get into
stable 2.6.21.5?
I don't think this is a bug, the drive was told to read a sector and
returned error SK=03, ASC=02, ASCQ=00 which is "NO SEEK COMPLETE", in
other words it couldn't find that sector. Could be that the disc is
marginally readable and only sometimes causes read errors.
