"Question: does the live CD require that you have an active network connection? I would think it would recognize that the Broadcom firmware is missing, and then move on to the next boot step." Indeed, it should just continue booting. That's what it used to do in previous versions (with a message on the screen that firmware was missing). Let's mark it as a duplicate of #950295? It's rather a bug in the kernel instead of the casper package. ** This bug has been marked a duplicate of bug 950295 acer laptop hangs during boot process; 12.04 - b43 driver -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/956677 Title: Live CD boot fails, b43 error To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/casper/+bug/956677/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
