Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 116153
Will Not Boot
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:10:36 EST
Description of problem: When I try to boot using the cdroms I made for FC2 test 1 the boot disk will not boot on my machine. I am using a machine that has a via chipset, but I am not sure if that is the problem. The first fedora core boots just fine. Also I have burned the boot.iso image and the problem is the same. It will try to boot, but at the point where it says ready to load the image, it will just go back to the original screen where you are trying to install using graphical or text or whatever. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): FC2 test 1 How reproducible: Just try to install on the walmart 200 dollar special computer with the via chipset. (Yeah I know I am cheap). Steps to Reproduce: 1. Insert first disk made from fc2 test1 burned cds. 2. Wait till it boots to install with graphics hit return. 3. It will not boot into installation program, but takes you back to 2 Actual results: No boot. Expected results: Boot into installation screen. Additional info: Burning the boot.iso image results in the same problem.
Not supported in the FC2 test1 boot disks; this issue is in the release notes and the release announcement. This will be fixed in the next test release.
