I'm experiencing this same problem on an HP pavilion a1320 desktop. It
won't recognize the feisty live cd as bootable. The same CD works on
two other machines that I have but not the HP.
Just to be sure that it's not something screwy in the boot order I went
so far as to remov the hard disk from the boot order and it came up with
the no bootable OS found error.
BIOS version is 3.24, which is the latest.
Here's the info on the CD that I'm using....
$ ls -la ubuntu-9.04-desktop-i386.iso
-rw-r--r-- 1 xxxx xxxx 732909568 2009-05-24 16:42 ubuntu-9.04-desktop-i386.iso
$ md5sum ubuntu-9.04-desktop-i386.iso
66fa77789c7b8ff63130e5d5a272d67b ubuntu-9.04-desktop-i386.iso
** Changed in: ubuntu
Status: Invalid => New
** Summary changed:
- Ubuntu won't boot on desktop
+ Ubuntu won't boot on HP desktop
** Description changed:
On an HP (x86) desktop, the BIOS can't find the boot disc. It was
installed with the official Live CD, and the BIOS and boot flags on
partitions have been checked. This is all by computer technicians.
- Unfortuneately, details as to the nature of the bug is vague, as the
- only symtom is the same as if there was no bootable OS.
+ Unfortunately, details as to the nature of the bug is vague, as the only
+ symptom is the same as if there was no bootable OS.
