Re: Live-CD

Hello,

When I launch this live-CD on my computer, here is the message I get immediately after the linux kernel is loaded :

Loading KIWI CD Boot-system...
Failed to detect CD drive !
rebootException reboot in 60 sec...

I don't understand why it doesn't work, because I have a kubuntu distro installed on this computer, and the hardware is very well recognized.

If someone could give me an advice...

Thanks,

Arnaud741

Have you verified the MD5SUM before burning?

You can also test the LiveCD in qemu ('zypper install qemu' first on openSUSE) by running: qemu -cdrom KDE-Four-Live.i686-0.2.iso -boot d -m 256 (or -m 512 if you can give it that much memory).

Thanks for that. I'd been too lazy to look into running it in a vm - hadn't realised it was that simple.

Thank you for this suggestion : it works very well in qemu !
Maybe it doesn't work otherwise because my DVD drive is a S-ATA one ?

Using a USB CD-ROM drive, I get the same error message.
(A temporary solution was to use a IDE CD drive, which not everybody has...)
