I cant boot your dvd's the installation gets to mounting the dvd and fails
it says there is no module for the dvd and suggests that it must be an old
dvd drive
it isnt it is new, it is a SONY DVD RW AW G170A
All *nix do this with my system which is an intel dp965lt motherboard and
E6600 core 2 duo
All except for Ubuntu which now works (six months ago when I started trying
it didn't even get as far as trying to mount a dvd).
Now I am told that I can boot from a USB stick or a floppy, but (a) I dont
have a floppy and (b) this is an IDE drive for which your manuals say:- 'all
covered'. Well this one isnt, so your manuals are in error.
Also the installation program isnt working, it says 'old drive' which is not
the case.
I think both of these count as bugs, but I cant report them using bug rep.
Finally you claim to give 'an easy installation from dvd'........ er.
I have tried getting advice from the forum but only got told to use a USB
stick, again easy installation?
I have waited six months hoping that this would be picked up in this time,
and no joy.
It looks to me that if I do not ask you directly, I may be waiting forever
