Strange problem here.. I'm using install-x86-20040518beta-2004.2.iso My main desktop system will not boot from this CD. It goes through bootup as normal.. looks for a CDROM to boot off: Boot from ATAPI CDROM... (at this point, you can hear the cd spinning up) Boot from ATAPI CDROM... (it now goes onto the next boot devices) Boot from Serial ATA... And then my own grub menu comes up and it starts booting from the hard disk. I run an nforce2 motherboard, and have tried both a DVD reader, and a CD writer (both IDE) and it goes through as if the disc in the drive is not bootable. The 2004.1 and 2004.0 livecd's boot up fine in the same configuration. MD5sum of downloaded .iso file matches the .iso.md5 file, running "md5sum /dev/dvd" also produces the correct md5. Strangely enough, the CD does boot fine on my laptop.
thanks for the feedback. for tracking sakes though, please close this bug and move the contents to 51396, thanks :)
