Subject:   Booting 4.1 ISO on Thinkpads never work for me???
Message-ID:  <005b01c00b11$c8cbc180$deff58c1@sos>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
I had a similar problem with the 4.0 image, and asked about it here, without
any answers, now that I have the same problem with 4.1 on my new thinkpad
600x (had a 600e before), I thought someone should think about this.

I burned the ISO from cdrom.com with cdrecord, and the laptop does boot the
CD, but stops at the bootloader, and after a approx. 20-30 second timeout
says that Itīs confused and doesnīt know which drive to boot from (theres
Drive 0 = Floppy but taken over by CD (as far as I see it) and Drive 1 (my
harddisk).

I cannot boot from any of them, any suggestions?

Doing the install via the floppies worked fine.
