I just booted to the live install disk a few more times and didn't see
any sign of the media check running. I watched the CD and hard disk
activity lights closely and though I couldn't see the screen come up
with the choices to check and boot, just boot, or troubleshoot I got the
impression that the software was running and it would operate according
to the selection. When I had it run with the media check the activity
seemed credible. It maybe possible that the menu and subsequent media
test are running, but just not showing up on the screen. The first thing
that shows up on the screen is the long scrolling list of messages
during boot. From that point on everything seems normal. This might be
an issue with a display parameter. This is supported by another
experiment I tried. I used the same F30 Workstation Live 0224 drop DVD
to boot an AMD machine. On the AMD machine the menu showed up and the
media check could be seen running. My test machine that doesn't display
these items is a Lenovo M58p with an Intel E8400 processor. All the
monitors here are Samsung and haven't shown problems.
I don't see a grub screen so I don't have any luck trying to press an
'e' to get to the editor. I thought about trying to edit
/etc/grub2-efi.cfg, but I can't think of how to make that work. By the
time I can open a shell and edit the file I think it's all over. Also, I
believe it's not an editable file in the live environment. Given the
above this may be mute.
Have a Great Day!
