Live CD won't boot

[wilcal]

Your system is probably too old for Lucid Puppy 525.]

It's been quite awhile since I have posted on this Forum.
But, I'd like to draw attention to this issue. I have tried
my new platform with and without a hard drive. Boot from
Puppy 5.2.5 CD-ROM Live-CD. This CD disk boots on virtually
any other computer I try it on. Difference here is the PC.
Here's the platform:

Intel Core i7-2600K Sandy Bridge 3.4GHz (3.8GHz Turbo Boost) LGA 1155 95W Quad-Core
GIGABYTE GA-Z68X-UD3-B3 LGA 1155 Intel Z68 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
GIGABYTE GV-N440D3-1GI GeForce GT 440 (Fermi) 1GB 128-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16
CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)
Seagate Barracuda ST31000524AS 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive
Sony Optiarc CD/DVD Burner Black SATA Model AD-7260S-0B
Thermaltake V9 BlacX Edition with Docking Station
Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus CPU Cooler
KINGWIN KF-91-BK SATA Black Aluminum Mobile Rack

I've in hand three Puppy Live-CD's past releases
and they all exhibit the same issue on this new platform.

Your problem is most likely caused by Puppy not recognizing this device. Here is a quick workaround.

1. Get a flash drive and copy the core Puppy files from the CD to the drive.

2. Boot off the CD with the flash drive plugged in.

3. At the short initial pause, type

Code: Select all

puppy pmedia=usbflash

Wilcal, what kind of trouble report is that? You don't say what happens when you try to boot a Puppy CD. Do you get an error message? What does it say? Have you tried booting a Puppy DVD instead of CD?

If you meant to post in another thread, do it now then let me know so I can delete this one.
