Bug#403266: installation-report: 12/13/2006 Daily AMD64 Install CD fails to boot
Package: installation-reports
Version: 2.24
Severity: normal
I burnt the CD on 12/13 and tried to boot from it this morning on a
system I just assembled last night. The system would not boot from the
CD. There were no signs that the boot process even began. It did spin
the CD for a while as if it was looking for a bootable device.
I tried booting the same machine from a generic x86 Knoppix CD, and it
booted just fine. After successfully booting the Knoppix CD, I tried
booting from the Debian boot CD again -- still no luck.
By the way, I am reporting from another Debian box, so the
hardware/kernel details added automatically by reportbug don't apply.
