Machine is a Compaq dx5150 64 bit desktop with 3Gb of memory. It has bee n having no problems with 64 bit SL5.3. Before upgrading to SL5.4, I thoug ht I'd be cautious and try out the live dvd, but it won't boot. Even if I t ry "failsafe", the boot sequence prints the "ok" after starting udev and the n the screen goes blank and never comes back again.
I have no other reason to suspect the machine itself. The only time I ne ed to reboot is for new kernels or drivers. I tried the memtest program on the dvd and it didn't report any problems. Md5sum gives the right answer for the dvd containing the iso image. I downloaded and burned it again just in case, but it didn't make any diffe rence. The dvd drive is ok as far as I can tell. I'm able to boot and run from an old Knoppix dvd. Any suggestions for what to try? Thanks
