32/64bit Groovy Arcade Linux LiveCD/Install
Quinny:
I am not ready to download the new ISO at the moment (does this work with USB sticks or only a CD/DVD?) but thanks for testing it out dmarcum99. I am interested to see the results.

I have loaded fail-safe defaults on mobo w/v1.563- no difference
I have loaded v 1.560 with the original dvd drive - v. 1.560 boots off cd no problem
I have loaded v 1.563 with the original dvd drive - v. 1.563 halts with the squashfs - invalid loop location error
I have loaded v 1.560 with new dvd drive -v. 1.560 boots off cd no problem
I have loaded v. 1.563 with new dvd drive 0 v. 1.563 halts with the squashfs - invalid loop location error
I'll try to download the iso again...but at 35K download speeds it takes 6 hours to download :angry:
EDIT: just downloaded 32-bit version....NO DICE....same result.
re-downloaded 64-bit version for the 3rd time....same result.
FRUSTRATED....I took the 64-bit CD to another PC in my house....THE DANG THING WORKS!!!???????? :dizzy:
What could be doing this to my cab?? My mobo has a AMD 785G chipset and I'm using an AUSUS ATI 4350 (outside of the dvd drive swap, my hardware hasn't changed)
Help me Obi-Wan (bitbytebit) youre my only hope!! :timebomb:

It seems like the dvd/cd drive that you have isn't working with the newest kernel, which is strange. I'm not sure if it's possibly a side effect of something going wrong with it from the 3.0.0 vs. 2.6 version jump (scripts that thought of 2.7 as being the next kernel, most of them, have to be rewritten). I fixed what I think fully fixes that, but there could be other ones possibly. There might be something in the config that changed, and didn't get configured in to support that dvd drive. What model is it, what does 'lspci -v' output show on the other older iso? Also possibly the dmesg from the older in /var/log/dmesg. Is there anything bus wise in how it hooks up different than the one that works?
dmarcum99:
Thanks for the help bitbytebit!
The original DVD drive in my cab: Hitachi/LG GSA-H40N (IDE drive)
I replaced this drive with: Toshiba/Samsung TS-H353 (SATA drive)
**on both of these drives v. 1.560 works....1.563 failed (both 32&64-bit)**
I just assumed since I tried 2 different drives without success it had to be something with my motherboard chipset (AMD 785G)
When I took the CD to my living room PC, it booted successfully. This drive is: LG GSA-H20L (IDE drive)
I'm attaching txt files of the lspci-v & dmesg you were asking about.
**EDIT** the lspci-v txt file may have duplicated info. I typed the command twice and when I copied the output I may have grabbed both outputs.

Also get the output of /var/log/messages and the output of running the command `dmesg > out.log` too. Those might get closer to when the cd drive is loaded, and also possibly the output of `lsmod > lsmod.log` which should show which modules are being used. Also you might want to try these on the live cd that fails, just to see what output you get, if it detects the cd drive there and possibly what errors occur. The dmesg command output there might be the most interesting to see.
dmarcum99:
I zipped the log folder so you can take a look.
I also attached the out.log (out.txt) and the lsmod.log (lsmod.txt) but I'm not sure how much good they'll do. I remoted in from work to my pc and remoted in to the cab to run the commands, but I forgot I don't have any DVD drive attached to the cab right now. :banghead:
I'm not sure I can run any commands using the 1.563 iso. I'm not at the cab right now (work) but the boot process stops at the red exclamation marks indicating invalid loop location. It appears that a cursor appears so I sould type commands, but the keyboard doesn't function and it appears to hang (lock-up) right there.
