This might be as simple as needing to burn the DVD at a slower speed. Some older/picky DVD/CD drives just can't read media that is burnt at faster speeds. On 6/30/06, Anne Wilson <cannewilson@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
I burned FC6t1 to a DVD and verified it. The DVD automounts on insertion on this box. I then tried to boot my old laptop from the DVD, and the drive ground on as though there was an imbalance, unable to boot. I took the disk to another box, and it booted to the install screen without problems. I put a Knoppix DVD into the laptop drive, and that boots OK. This is reminding me of problems reported on the Mandriva lists. As I recall, it was said that two versions of boot were available, one on CD1 and one on CD2 to get round the physical problems some people were experiencing. Is this a real problem, or a figment of my ancient laptop?
