[10:39] <mmaksimov> Hi all. I still have trouble booting Natty Alpha1 on one machine, the BIOS does not seem to recognize the CD as bootable. I've double-checked the iso and the CD, I've booted another machine from that CD, I've re-burned the image and checked another CD... It just doesn't boot on that machine. Any suggestions not involving booting from USB?
[10:42] <UndiFineD> sledgehammer it ?
[10:43] <M0hi> mmaksimov, tried a Live USB?
[10:43] <M0hi> aww
[10:43] <M0hi> It might be your hardware issue
[10:43] <UndiFineD> flash the bios ?
[10:44] <M0hi> yours is a desktop or a laptop?
[10:44] <M0hi> UndiFineD, yeah thats also an option
[10:55] <mmaksimov> M0hi, a desktop. And it boots normally from, say, Lubuntu 10.10 CD :(
[10:55] <Yorvyk> mmaksimov, wait a few days, Alpha 2 is due.
[10:58] <mmaksimov> Yorvyk, I think I will. Just wanted to help testing alpha1 ;)
[11:00] <Yorvyk> mmaksimov, what happens with Alpha 1, does it try to boot the CD
[11:14] <mmaksimov> Yorvyk, no, the BIOS doesn't regard the CD as bootable. "Non-system disk or disk error, instert system disk and press..."
[11:18] <Yorvyk> mmaksimov, Hmmmm, what speed are you writing the CD at?
[11:23] <mmaksimov> Yorvyk, lowest possible for a device. One disk at 4x, another at 8x. They are both read and checksumed correctly on the desktop that doesn't boot from them (I've installed 10.10 for that purpose). The one burned at 4x was burned on that same desktop.

[11:33] <Yorvyk> mmaksimov, Bizaare :/
[11:35] <Yorvyk> mmaksimov, if you want to play with the Alpha release you could upgrade 10.10 to Natty
[11:42] <mmaksimov> Yorvyk, this will not resolve the CD-booting issue :)
[11:43] <Yorvyk> mmaksimov, no, it's just an alternative way of playing with Natty if you so wish.
[11:44] <Yorvyk> mmaksimov, What hardware is it maybe others have had the same problem
[11:50] <mmaksimov> (opening up the box to see the motherboard)
[11:58] <mmaksimov> Yorvyk, MS7005 ver.2 board (probably MSI's) with P4 CPU
[12:06] <Yorvyk> mmaksimov, I can't find any reports of anybody having problems with that mobo, hopefully it will just be a quirk with Alpha1 and Alpha 2 wiil work.
[12:27] <Yorvyk> mmaksimov,  for future reference your board is MSI 651M-V
[12:40] <mmaksimov> Yorvyk, thanks
[12:42] <Yorvyk> mmaksimov, np, hope Alpha 2 works for you
