Bug 59932 – recent bios + livecd = no boot on cd !

• Product: Gentoo Release Media
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description it's wonderful 2004-08-10 01:16:58 UTC]

I've an Athlon XP 2500 with an ABIT NFS-7, 512Mo DDR, 120Go HD.

I burned minimal livecd to install gentoo on my box where debian is working. I installed debian with a minimal boot cd too, and it works perfectly!

However, when I try to boot the gentoo livecd (2004.2) it simply doesn't work and start on my hard drive.

So, i'm too stupid, my boot sequence may not be correct in my bios...no ! I have (1)-Floppy,(2)-CDROM,(3)-HDD-0

Ok, so my boot sequence is correct, it may be my pioneer DVD reader which is dead ?! ok, I will try with my debian CD to see if it is....it's work !! My pionner is working...

So, this is not my boot sequence and not my dvd reader...

I've another computer, an AMD duron 700mhz, on which I setup my pionner and my hard drive (above mentionned)...and I can boot on the livecd !


So, i can't boot minimal gentoo livecd 2004.2 with my NFS-7...could it be a bug? or am I a stupid french guy ?

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Simply try to boot minimal livecd 2004.2 with a ABIT NFS-7 Motherboard
2. - Athlon XP 2500+, 512DDR, 120Go HD, ATI Radeaon 9600 Pro
3. - 2 Ethernet card full/half duplex (standard), Pionner DVD Reader 16x

Actual Results:  
read my dvd drive in order to boot on, but nothing is found, and then boot on
the hard drive.

Expected Results:  
boot on the cd ! the cd is working because I can boot on older computers with
this cd.
