live cd - a few problems
Posted: 3. Feb 2010, 07:01
Hi,
Have the latest beta of live CD. I found this unable to boot on a ThinkPad T23. It gets past the preliminary stages but when the second progress bar displays on screen nothing more happens. Bit hard to tell what is going on as the machine no longer responds and has to be turned off. Perhaps the only clue is the display has colours out of register on the image which pops up at the beginning of the boot process in top LH corner of screen. Machine is a PIII 1133MHz with 768MB RAM and Savage video. At present it has no hard disk. The appropriate video driver appears to be on the CD. Machine runs wolvix, linvo, zenwalk etc.
I was using the live CD earlier this evening on the web via wireless to an open access point. After perhaps ninety minutes of use Firefox had a meltdown and was only displaying window frames. Usage was light, browsing and webmail. Eventually got a message that the app was no longer responding. This was on a ThinkPad Z60m with Intel 915.
The live CD booted on a ThinkPad R51 also, intel grfx, with some video aberrations, ie wicd icon not displaying correctly. It also booted on a generic desktop, AOpen mobo with Sis chips, early 2000's 64MB nvidia card. Celeron D 2.8 GHz.
The CD does not eject on closedown on any machine I have used. Hope the above is of some use.
