Hello again. After having a discussion here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=964359
I also want to note that in my testing I have found that this is not limited to the LiveCD, it also affects the OS after installation. We seem to have determined the following: For some users, disabling cool n quiet in the BIOS allows the system to boot without error. We also found that enabling cool n quiet but making sure that every possible BIOS setting was at "auto" (no forced multiplier, etc) also works. The theory is that powernowd doesn't like having specified settings in the BIOS if cool n quiet is enabled, but is fine with any settings if cool n quiet is disabled. Hope this helps somehow. One user reports that without changing any BIOS settings he was able to get the LiveCD to boot off of a PATA optical drive but not a SATA one. ** Summary changed: - LiveCD amd64 Intrepid Alpha 5 won't boot + LiveCD amd64 Hardy/Intrepid won't boot ** Description changed: Binary package hint: linux-amd64-generic - Ubuntu LiveCD Intrepid Ibex 8.10 for AMD64 does not boot.
