K first let me start off by laying out my machine.
Acer Aspire 5100
AMD Turion 64x2 1.6Ghz TL-50
2GB DDR2 667
120GB SATA HDD
I downloaded the Fedora 11 x86_64 Gnome Live CD and burned it using Alcohol 120%, when i tried booting it, it ran no problem. I was even able to install it onto the HDD.
So as I then noticed that there was a 64bit Live CD w/ the KDE GUI i proceeded to download the images both via torrent and Direct Download.
I burned the Directly Downloaded one using Alcohol and when i booted it, I do not see the 10 sec warning for auto booting, it just stops at the Grub boot loader and says...
GNU GRUB version 0.97 (631K lower / 2061888K upper memory)
[Minimal BASH-like line editing supported. For the first word, TAB
lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists the possible
completions of a device/filename.]
grub>
I understand i'm seing the Grub bootloader, but i'm confused as to why the CD is not booting.
So I burned the ISO i obtained via the torrent network and attempted to boot it, and I can come up with the same screen.
I previously had BackTrack 3 Final on the computer using LiLo as the bootloader and it had no problem.
I have pressed TAB and is lists various different commands for use but i am unfirmilar with manually having to set this information as it is usually contained in the bootloader, also my experience in bootloaders so far has been limited to LiLo.
If anyone could point me in the right direction on how to boot this, or what to type in at this prompt. Please let me know thanks.
