Public bug reported: When I try to boot from an Ubuntu livecd, It locks up immediately after I hit "boot to livecd" (not exact words). It doesn't even begin to show progress of loading the livecd kernel into memory, The second i hit the option, the machine locks up.
I have updated my machines BIOS to the newest version. I have tried every option in the list, all react the same way. I have burned more Ubuntu cd's than I can count, and tested them on other people's computers, they all work fine. I have done lots of reading, I have tried booting with options "noapic", "nolapic", "apci=off" and all possible combinations of them. I have also tried ubuntu 6,06 livecd, Ubuntu 6.06 alternative, Xubuntu 6.06 livecd and Ubuntu 6.10 livecd. The strange thing is that the Kubuntu livecd works fine. Unfortunately I am not much of a Kubuntu fan. Right now I have Kubuntu with gnome running. I would really like to be able to run Ubuntu. I have a compal HEL80 laptop. ** Affects: Ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- Ubuntu LiveCD boot fails https://launchpad.net/bugs/73086 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
