Hope someone can help, new PC built from ground up, I7 960 on x58 chip set with 8g DDR3 mem, Radeon HD 6670 graphics card and 2 Tb hd. Live CD boots, shows splash screen with progress bar. The bar goes all the way across then sits nothing happens after, any ideas what could be preventing boot/causing the lockup?

Hi af_murph - welcome to the forum, lovely to have you with us.
You could do an md5sum and/or media check to make sure the ISO download was good and the CD was burned successfully.

If you can keep you head while all around you are losing theirs, then you have misunderstood the situation.

or edit the splash=silent entry in the boot line to read splash=verbose

I tried running the live CD using a different menu option and received the error:
Error: No suitable media for the live CD content found.
Workaround: Copy the content of the live CD from your boot device to an IDE/Sata disk.
Dropping you to a limited shell.
tried looking up boot option codes based on forum post, trying edd=off and livecd_sata_probe with no luck...yet!
Knowing the community is watching this post is much appreciated!

most common cause's of that error is either a bad burn or a corrupted download - check the md5sum of the download and then reburn the iso image

booted safe mode: got to--

Please wait: detecting USB devices.
Please wait: detecting USB mass-storage devices.
[ OK ]
[DONE] "done is in red and everything after until the shell $"
Error: No suitable media for the live CD content found.
Workaround: Copy the content of the live CD from your boot device to an IDE/Sata disk.

do you think the error could be caused by using SATA 3.0 and 6 GPS hard drive?

it sounds like a bad burn still ... but if the disk is ok on your other machines it may be some hardware issue ... i am not really familiar with sata3 issues ... your gonna have to hold on till one of the Guru's pulls up a chair |
