Posted: Mon Feb 16, 2004 12:54 pm Post subject: What am I doing wrong?! CD1 won't Boot! |
|
|
I have taken the many hours to download Live CD1 and now it won't boot. The Backpack recognizes it as an ISO file and then I burn it directly to CD. I've tried booting in several computers -- continues to boot into the default system after scanning the CD for several seconds. Can anyone tell me what I am missing?! Thanks. |

I am having the same problem. However I have checked the CD on other computers and it did successfully burn the ISO (all of the individual files are there as opposed to the one .iso file). Essentially the same thing is happening when I boot, it tries to boot from the CD for a few seconds then says Boot from ATAPI CD-ROM: Failure ...
After it fails it continues to boot into the default system.
I know previous Live CD's have worked on this same computer.
Anyone have any ideas? |

if also successfully bootet from LiveCD 1 (version 1.4)
i tried booting version 2004.0 and i burned it the same way as i did with the 1.4 before (nero) but it wont boot.
So maybe there is a general failure? O did anyone successfully boot it?
I'm going to mount the image and the copy the cd from the mounted device. Maybe this one helps? _________________ managing a server running gentoo... |

I don't think its a general failure because more people would have complained about it.
I tried the universal live cd (minimal) and that worked fine for me, if you havent I suggest you try that also if you are trying a more hardware specific boot CD. |

I'm having the exact same problem with the LiveCD 2004.0 image. I've actually re-downloaded it once and checked the MD5 sum, but it's STILL broken and not even pretending to boot. Anybody heard any answers here? |

I have read some where on the gentoo site. Check the 2004.0 page that you need to use the universal cd to boot. I also used a specific cd to boot from and i doesn't work. I had to use the universal. I believe they have a minimal, which i did, or a full boot with the stages on the cd as well. Sucks that you have to redownload though. hope this helps |

Universal (minimal) worked for me.
I had been having a problem with the Pentium 3 specific cd, I had downloaded it from 3 different mirrors and checked the MD5 sums one each of them. Tried burning them with two different software packages, and wasted about 10 cd's trying to figure out what I was doing wrong.
I downloaded the universal minimal instead of the P3 specific one (the universal minimal disk is about 1/8 the size of the specific disks) burned it to a cd and it booted up the first time with no problems.
Good luck. |

I'm an experienced Linux and MS sys Eng. and I know I burned correctly. My Dell p4 will not boot from this cd either. I downloaded a fresh copy and burned it last night. Yes all the files are there when I look at it on another machine.
I just spent the 20 bucks for the cd's to be shipped from Gentoo as well so we will see with that. _________________ admin@honestsql.net |
