Re: Bug: Buster 10.0 Testing 20190617 Image LiveCD Will Not Boot

Alf,
Testing via a VM is not the same as booting native on real
machine. I could list a number of LiveCD and Non-Live Images
that fail to boot in VM, but boot on real machine just fine.
I will repeat again same image same PC fails the LiveCD boot,
but as I noted boots fine using any other splash boot option of
that same image. Therefore there is a problem with the LiveCD
boot option that I did note this has been an ongoing in
variation with the Stretch 9.x LiveCD images. This means the
issue(s) have been about for some time now, just worse with
Buster 10 Testing. I know how to work about using the bugs
to advantage with the 9.x LiveCD images.
