Houston--We have a problem--I can't see ( solved )

[dupek]

I can not understan, why so many people are wasting the cd/dvd. I use Unebutin and create bootable usb stick. After installation, I reformat it.
You my want to download a fresh copy. Could be some "bug" got in it during download. It happens.

Does that mean you were able to boot, but just couldn't find the installer

The truth is more that I didn't try to find it, as I had enough for the day and I was very tired. So, I didn't look.

However, thanks for the info, Since today is today and yesterday is gone, I decided to install in a spare partition sda12.
I booted up the remaster ((with kernel-3.2.12-pae kernel )) in the Lenovo G470 and it boots up just fine, just like all other pclos liveCDs on my normal PCs.
I was able to do quick and painless install ( following your info ) .
Configured menu.lst in sda5 ( bootloader entry ).
I rebooted..................and now.......it hangs at about 1/3th of progress bar.

I waited 15 minutes.
Now abandon.

Xenaflux,

please ignore the "cannot open file delete" message, it is a glitch in plymouth-theme, but nothing to worry about.
Instead, try as follow: at grub boot screen, press F3 (Options), select "default", at the end of the parameter line add:

Code: [Select]

noquiet  splash=verbose  debug
that should give you some feedback about what is going on and where it is stopping.

If the above doesn't lead to anything useful, try to add:

Code: [Select]

noquiet  splash=verbose  3 which should boot your system up to a black screen with a login prompt, log in as root and run XFdrake to configure your video card, then reboot, using the command: reboot
