Thanks! & thanks for your report here. > I wanted to report a possible regression in 2.7. I am no longer able to get > Tails to boot, either in normal startup or in failsafe.

When attempting a failsafe startup, it reads "Probing EDD > (edd=off to disable)... ok" and then has the solid underscore at the > beginning of the next line.

Can you try 1. to run it in a 64-bit virtual machine? 2. if your run Linux, can you try using virt-manager instead of Virtualbox? I use virt-manager on a 64bit CPU and 2.7 boots fine.
