[SoaS] [Sugar-devel] SoaS 4 - Mango Lassi is out.

[David Leeming]

Martin thanks,

Pressing shift at boot time was the missing info that I needed. It works OK.

Is this a hardware issue? I am unclear whether this is happening to everyone
or just some of us.

This appears to be the relevant bug report:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=617115

Can anyone who's having the problem or dealing with the problem confirm?

Martin

PS - If nobody's responding, please try to maximise the incentives for
people not having the problem to help you:

1) try not emailing marketing about soas boot hang problems
2) try not emailing sugar-devel about soas boot hang problems
3) try summarising what you've already investigated

4) try googling for the key terms: I tried "fedora live cd boot hang
   syslinux" and that bug was the second result; the first being
   relevant but a bit older.
