Hi all. I have a problem with trying to boot from a Fedora 9 installation CD-R. It works on another machine, so the disk is OK. I guess if anyone knows the answer then it will be found here on the kernel developers list.
When trying to boot from a CD-R installation disk, on my Advent 6415 laptop I get the following:
Welcome to Fedora 9! [the installer splash screen]
I then click on either:
Install or upgrade an existing system [or] Install or upgrade an existing system (text mode)
[both give me the same following error]
Loading vmlinuz........................................... ..............
Loading initrd.img........................................ ................. ...............ready. Probing EDD (edd=off to disable)... ok vmlinuz: attempted DOS system call boot:
If I hit return now, the machine goes back to the 'Welcome to Fedora 9!' splash screen.
I have edited the kernel parameters at the spalsh screen and tried:
edd=skipmbr edd=off
All that does is not display the line: Probing EDD (edd=off to disable)... ok
The installation still hangs at the boot: prompt.
Has anyone come across the behaviour before please?
Is there any way I can get my laptop to boot from this media, maybe by passing some undocumented kernel parameters?
Kind Regards,
Keith Roberts
