Hi, I've posted this to https://mailman.boum.org/pipermail/tails-support/2016-November/000834.html but it was a thread about Tails not booting in VMWare so I'm creating my own thread.
I've used Tails since 0.33 and it worked on the same hardware up to version 2.6. I am using some old Asus P5K WS motherboard (no UEFI), Intel Core2 CPU, 4 GB RAM, Radeon HD6450. I upgraded Tails USB the standard way from 2.6 (was prompted to upgrade, download size 304.15MiB). After the reboot, while selecting Live boot option, my system halts after following messsage: Probing EDD (edd=off to disable)... ok followed by a blinking cursor. I also tried the failsafe option, added "debug nosplash" boot options, but the system froze at the same (Caps Lock LED doesn't light up when the key is pressed) at the same point: early console in setup code Probing EDD (edd=off to disable)... ok followed by a blinking cursor. At first I thought my USB was bricked so I succesfully downloaded and verified tails-i386-2.7.iso via Tor Browser Add-on with sha256 sum: 164dd41ddc3c1713df570e2379c35796edea93b2561afe82eb112252ec078651 tails-i386-2.7.iso and burned it to a DVD. Booting it still fails the exact same way as described above. Luckily I've kept Tails 2.6 ISO so I still can report this issue. If you have any further questions or want me to test some other options, feel free to ask. I'd be really happy to make it work again. Cheers, Iben Edit: I just tested 3.0~alpha1 iso and I'm having the same issue. _______________________________________________ tails-support mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.boum.org/listinfo/tails-support To unsubscribe from this list, send an empty email to [email protected].
