Description Paolo Prandini 2004-05-22 20:26:14 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6)
Gecko/20040207 Firefox/0.8

Description of problem:
I downloaded the FC2 ISOs and burned them using X-CDROAST on my FC1
machine. The boot CD is recognized and the boot prompt comes up.
When I hit ENTER, the boot loader starts loading vmlinuz, loading
initrd and then the screen goes blank and the machine reboots.
If I try with different parameters I got the same results.
The MD5 checksums of the images are OK. The disk verifies OK and can
install on my Dell Laptop.
As a test I have tried to boot from FC2 Rescue Cd, with the same
results. Knoppix 3.4 boots fine with 2.4 and 2.6 Kernel.

My machine :

ASUS P4P800S mainboard (Intel 848P chipset; onboard audio disabled)
P4 2.6 GHz (HyperThreaded(TM))
2 x 256 MB DDR400 RAM (Single Channel)
ATi Radeon 9200 graphics card
RealTek RTL8139 NIC (on board)
Creative SoundBlaster Live! Value
Maxtor ATA133 80GB IDE1 Master
Maxtor ATA133 30GB IDE2 Master
LG Combo Drive GCC-4480B

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Insert boot CD (FC2 Final CD 1)
2. Start the Computer
3. Wait for the boot prompt to come up
4. Hit ENTER or type linux plus parameters and then hit ENTER
    

Actual Results:  Reboot

Expected Results:  Should Boot and startup graphic Installer

I am also experiencing the same issue:

ASUS P4P800 Deluxe
Intel Pentium IV 2.6C GHz
1 GB RAM (Corsair TWINX1024-3700PT)

I've validated the boot CD on another machine and it's fine.
