HardyHeron/Alpha4 for i386 CD: ISOLINUX hangs at "loading . . ."

[Owen PG]

Booting from image downloaded from here:
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/releases/hardy/alpha-4/hardy-desktop-i386.iso

I get error message on my PC:

This is the CD boot loader we're talking about here not kubuntu itself loading. Here's what happens:

=======================================================

I insert "HardyHeron/Alpha4 for i386" CD into Via EPIA PC.

Power On PC:

. . . BIOS / Memory blah things . . .

PCI device listing . . .
. . . blah . . .

Verifying DMI Pool Data . . . . . . . . . . .
. . . blah . . .

Boot from CD :
ISOLINUX 3.53 Debian-2007-12-11 Copyright (C) 1994-2007 H. Peter Anvin
Loading . . . _

Nothing else.
=======================================================

The VIA EPIA CL spec is here:
http://www.via.com.tw/en/products/mainboards/motherboards.jsp?motherboard_id=181
and it has 512MB RAM of which 64MB used for video

This behaviour was previously reported with a previous version of ISOLINUX with kubuntu 7.10RC(1) for i386 - please see bug #152257 for details:

Thank you for your bug report. This bug did not have a package associated with it, which is important for ensuring that it gets looked at by the proper developers. I have classified this bug as a bug in linux-source-2.6.24.

Hi Own,

Rather than opening a new report you can actully add the Hardy 'linux' task to the existing report. I'm going to go ahead and mark this report as a duplicate of that one. Thanks.
