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

thanks

Hi,

thank you for submitting bug reports concering debian-installer, much 
appreciated.

I read through all the bugs mentioned here (and I'm sure they were read by 
several people at the time they were submitted) and am closing them now as/if
- they (finally) indicated success and/or
- I know from first hand experience that the functionality is working in 
Wheezy and/or
- they only contained very little information and/or
- they contained user errors and/or
- they have been from a development phase where things were not stable and/or
- they are very old and/or
- they are wishlist but rather special + exotic and not have been acted on for 
years. (See http://blog.liw.fi/posts/wishlist-bugs/ why it's often useful to 
close wishlist bugs.)

If I've closed a bug incorrectly please do reply (it's easy to reopen and I'll 
do if requested) or just file a new one - and that's often better, as the bug 
log will be clearer and shorter and not contain cruft.


cheers,
        Holger
