Bug#657345: [debian-installer] Debian Installer fails to boot
Package: debian-installer
Severity: important
--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
Dear Debian Team!
A fresh burned DVD with debian squeeze 6.0.3 amd64 fails to boot at my
system.
It displays only the first line "ISOLinux .... something something .. at al"
Following boot scenarious fails:
- Debian Squeeze 6.0.3 amd64 - dvd 1 : Burned to a DVD
- Debian Squeeze 6.0.3 amd64 - dvd 1 : written to a USB stick
- Debian Squeeze 6.0.3 amd64 - netinstall : CD and USB stick
- Debian Live Squeeze 6.0.3 amd64 written to a DVD
- GRML64 2011.12
- Debian Wheezy Netinstaller (today downloaded)
Internal IDE DVD Writer was exchanged to a USB DVD Writer. Same results.
The disks and sticks were verified on my Laptop. They did boot there.
Following scenarios did boot:
- Debian Lenny 5.0.1 amd64 - ISO 1
- FreeBSD 8.2 amd64 DVD 1
- Knoppix 6.7
In my opinion it might be related to a change at syslinux bootcode
change at the time where lenny got developed to squeeze. Other
distributions like knoppix use ISOLinux which did boot on my system.
FreeBSD of course dont use syslinux too. I'm not sure if that error is
related to syslinux or the debian-installer, because grml which rely on
syslinux too, dont boot on that hardware.
Why did i not recognize that error before? My system was last installed
when Lenny was testing. After that, only dist-upgrades.
I know it might be hard to impossible for you to reproduce this error
because you dont have my hardware, but i'm reporting that bug knowing that.
My Hardwareconfiguration:
Asus M3A32 MVP Deluxe / BIOS 2202 (up to date)
AMD Phenom 1090T
BenQ IDE DVD writer
Best Regards
Georg Gast
