Live system does not boot

[bergschreck]

Still no luck with PCBSD9-STABLE-20120622-x86-DVD.iso

Just wanted to add that I too am suffering the same problem on a Acer Aspire 5742G-6600; I boot it up and it just hangs at the boot loader.

Free-BSD Boots and install's fine, but I'd much rather use PC-BSD
Not sure what is going on, are there any debugging options or such I can get some info from? It's hanging on something, (not freezing) since the one character slowly rotates.

I'll be happy to test the next snapshot when released.

Sorry for the thread necro, but I was having this problem myself recently. I'm not sure if you've tried a regular FreeBSD disc with different results. As far as I can tell from some research, the non-booting problem is due to having more than 1 SATA controller active. I was having this problem on my desktop PC (which I didn't even realize had two controllers). I had to move both the hard drive and DVD drive to controller 1 (physically relocated the plugs) and disable controller 2 (in BIOS). It came from factory with DVD on SATA 1 and HD on SATA 2 - not sure why. Once I did that it booted fine.

Hi, I have the same problem with an HP Elitebook either 32bit or 64 bit live DVD.

Do you get error messages or no display. For me when I got no display but when I tried the vesa driver, I get the GUI of the installer and was able to proceed installation

I have intel video card. Maybe the intel video card driver is still flaky

Im sorry what I mean is the usb installer.
I have also this problem with the DVD iso installer not booting

?? What do you mean the "usb installer"? I'm on a laptop and the only thing that is connected with the usb port is my mouse.

And it's a basic mouse that does not required any driver.

Yesterday, I donwloaded the normal DVD 64bit and even with that, I can't installed PC-BSD. That's sound a bit weird...

Today, I'm gonna try FreeBSD and see what happen...

Mr. Bean, If you still encounter the problem, submit a bug report to the PC-BSD testing mailing list

Hello,
English not my 1st...

Following my installation of 9.1, I'm having problem...
At detecting videos capacities, starting X it reboot, I've try VESA, same result

Using 9.1 because of the know issue with Nvidia card, should I use another ?
