2012.09 Fullmonty won't boot.

Just received the 2012.09 from On-disk and it won't boot live to my desktop running 2010. It boots fine and installs no problem on my laptop? Any thoughts?

Did you try all the boot options?

Did they all fail to boot?

Yes I've tried them all and it only boots about 1/3 of the way on the graphic boot and hangs on the "Welcome to PCLinuxOS 2012 Press "I" to enter interactive startup. Pressing "I" nothing.

Thanks, Les

As it begins to boot press the 'Esc' key to leave the graphics and display the boot lines .......  and report back the last few lines you see on the screen.

It might give some indication why it is faltering.

When I key the ESC it just cycles back to the boot choice screen and will not leave the graphic boot mode without selecting safe mode which as I said takes me to the. "Welcome to PCLOS Press "I" to enter interactive mode" which does nothing either.

As I said at first FM loaded nicely on my wife's HP laptop and she loves it..........me too! , but I can't get to boot on MY, netbook, laptop or desktop. It boots to different stages on each and then hangs. The least amount of RAM is on my desktop and it has 1Gb.

I've ordered 2012.08 to try on the machines, so we'll see what happens.
