[Sugar-devel] Fwd: [Question #81566]: Can't boot MacBooks at GPAfrom CD + USB

[Art Hunkins]

Caroline,

To reply to your *specific* questions:

With the CD/USB combo, the CD boot seems to work consistently on my PC's. I've tested on two recent PC systems: a desktop and a laptop.

I've noted no difference between shutdown and restart. I've configured bootup order as both: CD then HD; CD then nothing. Same result for each.

Bottom line: the CD boot helper is working flawlessly for me (on recent PC systems).

Take care -

Art Hunkins

  Hi, 


  How are things going getting your computers to boot?  Do you get this consistently or is it intermittent? I've seen it intermittently especially if I use restart not shutdown. If I power down its more likely to take.


  Thanks
  Caroline

    Not very encouraging. I'm finding that quite a few systems I have around here don't have a USB boot option. I've a feeling that most systems more than 4 years old or so fit into this category.

      Has anyone seen a "Not Responding" error when booting with a CD helper? 


      Also, I'm trying out the LaunchPad Questions functionality to see if this could be a front door where people put in various issues then we triage them to bugs/FAQs etc.

      I've been able to boot with a CD and USB other macbooks, such as those at LGF. I've never seen this error before.

      Anurag is going to try a Sugar and Fedora CD tomorrow.
