This thread is a bit bothersome for a lot of reasons. However, there
is a lack of hard info so far.
When you say it isn't booting the CD, what does this mean? Does it try
but fail with some error? Does it not even stop at the CD on the way
to attempting to boot the hard disk?
Does not even stop at the CD.
And let's see what the actual scope of the problem is:
Does the official CD boot? (I think the point of this thread
is for some people, no it doesn't).
No, it doesn't. Mine is an official CD.
If install42.iso or cd42.iso boot, don't be looking for code changes,
sounds like we had a bum pressing of CDs or some other quirk in the
way the master was made, as they all use the same boot process. Still
needs to be identified and fixed for 4.3, but it wouldn't be a code
problem.
Nick.
As other have already said, it seems to only be a problem with quite old
PC's. At least mine is. (see dmesg below)
