This is a good point - the live CD does some fairly complicated things dueing |
22 |
boot. It has a pretty massiv initrd image that it loads to do module loading |
23 |
and stuff, and the latest one simply might not be compatible with your |
24 |
hardware. Submit a bug for it, and then try an older liveCD. |
