Reply to #49 For complete cover and knowing there was a 'beta' BIOS update 'F7a' for my board and I have just done that update. Gigagytes inbuilt QFlash is great - No boot disks or Windows required. ;-)
Tested and get the same issue. The board I have which is a Gigabyte GA- 97a-DS3 Rev: 1.0. http://uk.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4122&dl=1#bios This is not UEFI but is hybrid EFI. The tests I have just run were with EFI in all it's setting states i.e. in 'Auto', 'NON-EFI' and 'EFI'. The result is the same failure with todays live 13.10 ISO. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1212977 Title: saucy daily-live images are unbootable on Dell Optiplex 990; stuck in BusyBox shell Status in “casper” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “udev” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “casper” source package in Saucy: Confirmed Status in “linux” source package in Saucy: Confirmed Status in “udev” source package in Saucy: Confirmed Bug description: saucy daily-live images are unbootable on Dell Optiplex 990.
