[Lubuntu-desktop] Boot problems with Natty Alpha ISOs

2011-03-04 Thread Mikhail Maksimov
Hi, all.

I've got a Pentium-IV box to test Lubuntu on. However, I cannot boot it from
alpha1 or 2 liveCDs. The discs are being rejected by BIOS reporting
NON-SYSTEM DISC PLEASE INSERT SYSTEM DISC AND PRESS ENTER. However,
Lubuntu 10.10 and Natty alpha-20110228 liveCDs both boot normally.

I've installed 10.10 to the machine, then checked, double-checked and
re-checked again the two alphas that do not boot. Both unbootable CDs are
perfectly readable and the checksums are correct (once again, I'm checking
it on the system that refuses to boot from them), so I assume it is not a
hardware (cd-rom drive vs. cd-rom disc) issue. The BIOS is proven to be
capable of booting from cd.

I'm willing to do further testing but cannot think of anything to check. Any
suggestions?

Regards!
Mikhail Maksimov

Julien,

as you can only hold the iso for 7 days, Jonathan has already put it onto my
server area. Remind me when your time expires and I will update the wiki
page for the direct links.

Jonathan,

awesome work, thanks.

Regards,

Phill.

(1) Can you boot from your Lubuntu Natty Alpha CDs on a different
machine?  Just as a test that the CDs reall are bootable.

(2) If the machine concerned has a floppy drive, consider using Smart
Boot Manager to do an El Torito boot from a floppy (which then
loads the CD).  I would be interested to know whether this works.
See http://btmgr.sourceforge.net for more about Smart Boot Manager.

(3) Do please try the very newest Lubuntu Natty 11.04 Alpha 3 CD, which
was announced today.  I am not just saying this because I
created it :)  I used a more automated ISO creation process than
was used for the other two CDs, so something *might* have changed
that could help your machine to boot from Alpha 3, especially
since my earlier alpha-20110228 ISO worked for you.

Thanks for testing, and for reporting this issue,

Jonathan

 The Lubuntu Blog http://lubuntublog.blogspot.com/ is getting updated
 about this too. I don't if anybody downloads from here, but offer this
 service. It will be added tonight. And I'll mention your link too, Phill, if
 you don't mind.
