Hi,

Since i am not seeing anyone else reporting a problem this may very well be a bug on my part with the iso burn, but I have tried burning two discs from the iso that had the correct md5sum and when I boot it goes right past the disc and into my grub menu, as if the disc is not there.
But the disc and it's contents is easily accessible when mounted from within puppy 4.1.2 that I have installed on my laptop.
I checked my bios again, just to be sure, and it is correct, the CD boots before the HDD.

I have booted numerous versions of puppy from the discs with this computer and never run into this problem before.
In the past when I get a bad burn I get it at least trying to boot and then get some sort of kernel panic.

I also tried the disc on my desktop computer that also has puppy 4.1.2 on it (this is on my laptop) and the same thing happed, it went right to my grub menu as if the disc was not there.
Looking in the disc when mounted I have the following files;

boot.msg
help.msg
initrd.gz
logo.16
pup_420.sfs
syslinux.cfg
vmlinuz

and the content of the syslinux.cfg

Me too--all seemed to be going well, until it didn't boot. Sorry, try again!

Hi

Just put 4.2a2 on my 5yr old laptop - runs fine frugal
in 96mb ram (256mb swap) 1ghz celeron proc.

Alpha1 runs very well on an even older midi PC - full install
91mb ram (200mb swap) 400mhz celeron proc.
Am sure Alpha2 will be just fine too.

Posting this from 4.2a2 now - FirePup feels fast - nice.
Jump-off page defaults to netsurf (did not launch firepup)
Will try prefs and see if that changes default browser to FirePup.

Next will be a frugal install on my new EeePc 701SD booting from
USB stick and from SD card.

Again - many thanks and much appreciation to all for doing what you do to make Puppy Linux the best OS in the world.

Best regards - Ray

as flash games goes
Flash chess pet package is the same size 49KB so I uploaded the original pet.
ACE-Solitaire.pet 22KB is one of best polished Solitaire games going, you can look at the thread http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=37996&sid=ea6b70cd1a423466bf348e3bf9314cb1
Before adding it, I'll contact the developers and ask permissions. But its really worth trying out.

I have the same problem.
My disk wont boot either. I tried several disks several times.

I should note that 4.2 alpha 1 worked fine.

@WhoDo

Booting problem with the cd might be a problem of isomaster. Some people (me too) have had problems to 'remaster' a puppy-iso (what means to substitute pup_***.sfs) with isomaster. maybe the actual problem is just another bug.
