<div>I second what Jim says. I've had a lot of trouble booting from the boot helper with Blueberry. </div> <div> </div> <div>Bernie looked at this at the GPA and found a bug in Fedora related to video drivers. Bernie, was this bug reported? Can you help David see if he is having the same problem we saw at GPA?</div> <div> </div> <div>Thanks,</div> <div>Caroline </div> <div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Jan 11, 2010 at 11:10 AM, Jim Simmons <<a href="mailto:nicestep@gmail.com">nicestep@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="PADDING-LEFT: 1ex; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; BORDER-LEFT: #ccc 1px solid">Tomeu and David, I experienced exactly the same problem with the Blueberry Boot Helper CD that Dave has. The message is exactly the same. I reported it at <a href="http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/" target="_blank">bugs.sugarlabs.org</a>. I would be surprised if the problem was an incomplete download. I have had good success booting Blueberry directly from the USB, but only a couple of the computers I own can do it. I was able to boot Strawberry using its helper CD, and I can also boot the Fedora 12 Live CD with no problem.
