Current of 8-25 hangs at initrd


Greets all, I downloaded Eric Hameleers' current iso on August 25th, but trying to boot it just hangs at the initial ramdisk. Anyone else noticed this? I always use Eric's isos and I've never had this problem before, just curious if I'm the only one...

Did you install it or burn a dvd. Did you check the checksum of your download?

BTW, you can probably boot on the huge kernel without the initrd.

I burned it to a dvd, unfortunately none of the F2 boot options come up either. Guess I'll just have to dl the entire distro from osuosl and make my own iso...

Looks like the dl or the dvd or something in the chain wasn't OK.
