From: Jack Schneider on 12 Jan 2010 12:50 Hi, All I have a debian live cd which starts to boot. I get the ISOLINUX 3.71 Debian-2008-9-06 Copyright notice. Then it just hangs- cd active. Disk is debian-live-502-amd64-gnome-desktop.iso MD5 sums check out...Cd is on-top in bios boot priority. Others, sysrescucd, Ubuntu, Debian testing net-installer all boot fine. I have tried other RW disks. 'may try CD-R disk if no one has a helping guess... TIA Jack -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

But I have an old laptop which frequently hangs on cold boot from CD (i.e. boot from power-on). Warm boot from an already running operating system (Ctrl+Alt+Delete) works fine. Obviously, it's possible there's something wrong with the image or with that particular burn of the image. But try warm booting the Debian Live CD after booting something else first. In fact, try warm booting from the hang of the cold boot. That is one possibility. In the case of my laptop, the cold boot from CD problem appears to be a BIOS bug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

I burned the image using Brasero from an Ubuntu laptop. I tried your suggestion - Warm Boot - deliberately I probably had done it before, without thinking, chasing this..

My hardware is a Supermicro X7DAL-E M/B Uh... do not tell me more :-) Just burn a CD-R and you're done.
