Nothing happens, so I pressed the hardware This is a sign that the kernel panic-ed.... There was talk about flashing the kernel panic reason as Morse Code, but I don't think they ever implemented that. > reset button and the system reboots.

That could be a problem.... IIRC, the liveCD tries to read the partition table and decide if there is a usable swap partition there, as well as your current system to mount. > Looks to me that I am unable to get F11's LiveCD to work > on my system. > > I will download the DVD version and see if this works.
