Re: LiveCD's don't work

That's probably
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.22/+bug/153702
(For Dell Inspiron 530, about SATA drive)
Suggested *workaround* is to:
1. While turning on the computer press F2 at the splash screen to enter
Setup (BIOS)
2. Select Integrated Peripherals
3. Go to 'SATA Mode', press Enter
4. Change to RAID, accept the change
5. Press F10 to save & reboot
But be warn that it is almost sure that Vista won't be able to boot
with that option in the BIOS!

I see that you succeeded with Mandriva:

I guess a bug should be open for Debian with a reference to Ubuntu bug #153702.

2008/8/29 Mike Fontenot <mlfasf@xxxxxxxxxxx>:

I succeeded in burning the downloaded debian-live image to a CD, but it
failed when I tried to boot from it on my new PC (Dell Inspiron 530).
It showed "Live Debian" on the screen, and typed "Press F1 for help, or
Enter to", and then paused at that point without finishing that
sentence. Then it repainted a new screen, and typed:

"isolinux: Disk error 32, AX=4280, drive 9F
Boot failed: press a key to retry"

Several retries gave the same result.

(I downloaded the "standard" version. Also, while running Vista, I
opened the CD that I had just burned, and verified that it had lots of
folders and files on it, not just a single iso file).
