[EN] firestarter-kde-amd64 live dvd not working
« on: 2013/08/11, 14:57:40 »
Hi all

I have burnt 3 firestarter-kde-amd64-201305211844. iso DVD's, one from the Stuttgart site,
one from the Brazilian site, and a final one from the Georgia Tech site (all in a slow 8x
speed). None of them is able to boot in my desktop, with a new Intel mobo DH87MC (with
UEFI boot disabled and Legacy boot enabled). The splash screen appears but with a superposed
black rectangle on the left upper side, with the following:

data            prog

:               :
:               :
:               :
0 55.1          0  ffffffff .5
1  0.0          1      15d7 .15
2  0.1          2      15d2 .5
3  1.1          3      431e .5

err 8

ip 45fa: 10.7

The mouse does not work.

If, anyhow, I press enter, there appears the following message:

welcome!
To start the system type one of the label menus below and press [enter]

siduction_amd64
Boot_from_Hard_Disk
Memory_test_(memtest86+)

Have a lot of fun...

boot:

I chose, of course, siduction_amd64, but then the following error came:

Could not find kernel image: siduction_amd64

Any tips??

Sure you had a completed download or a good burn?

orca, please try burning at 4x

If that still don't work and you have an extra partition you can try booting/testing/installing by using fromiso.

It is the only way I test releases and my own builds and installs to hard drive in under 4 minutes.

If you have access to another dvd burner or a friend that has one that you can use just to burn an image to make sure thats not the problem also.

What program are you using to burn ?

first check the md5sum to make sure the download was sucessful.
Than you can copy the iso to a usb-stick, so you must not waste any further DVD.

dd if="the_iso_name" of="the_device" bs=4M

But be sure you use the right device, it will be overwritten without any further hints.
