It's not a media quality problem. A Canonical copy failed to load and a slowly burnt and verified alternate CD gave a subtly different Linux failure to load into RAM. Note that all the CDs load without any problem for Windows XP inspection.
A LiveDVD appeared to load and Install but then gave problems, so I then tried burning a LiveCD as a DVD and THAT seemed to load and install via the Optiarc DVDRW AD-5170A drive. I then tried changing the MSI- supplied PATA133 interface cable for a shorter PATA166 cable and that seemed to allow the Canonical LiveCD to very slowly load. I will next try using the CD on DVD plus the shorter interface cable to load and install Ubuntu 7.10 from the Canonical LIveCD, hoping that that will allow me to get on, but I believe that there is an intrinsic weakness in the kernel, plus a weakness in the BIOS reading of CDs in a DVD drive, so I have asked MSI if there is a better BIOS. Meanwhile, my simple question stands. Might it be a good idea to re- release 7.10 with a 2.6.23 kernel, which appears to be stronger ? -- Kernel 2.6.22 prevents LiveCD load https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/159730 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
