I have a DVD with F 33 Live, in the drawer of an oldish machine. I can't get it to boot from the DVD. It was originally a System 76, which came with Ubuntu. I had to get help to switch it to Fedora, but it's been OK till now. (I've been doing system upgrades with dnf; but that doesn't work any more. The first display on boot says American Megatrends, copyright 2015. This is the machine, discussed here in a thread beginning October 30, about a transaction test error. The conclusion was that I had allocated space badly in F 32, and might as well install F 33 from scratch. That's what I'm trying to do. I've been running Fedora since it came out; if I can get this thing to boot from the live DVD, I ought to be able to install it to the hard drive. But the boot options are innumerable -- most of them apparently not connected with the BIOS, if there still is one. Is there hope? What info do I need to post??
1) is it a 32 bit system as Michael asked? 2) did you cut the DVD on the same drives as you are trying to boot off? K3B: did you set it to verify? 3) did you go into BIOS and set the DVD drive to be first in the boot order? 4) did you check the check sum of your iso? 5) can you read the DVD when in FC32? 6) what was the error message? 5) have you tried cutting the iso to a flash drive and booting off the flash drive? _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
