Thread: Will not boot from Dvd or USB in 12.04


quick story on issue: before this, dual booted windows 7 , arch linux, of recent changes made, , steam (eventually, definitely) coming linux, (specifically being supported ubuntu of now.) decided install ubuntu. naturally, first thing did take usb , put nice, freshly installed iso of ubuntu 12.04 on (which has worked in past on booting backtrack, same usb same computer) , try install. familiar purple screen flashed second before being replaced empty shell (i.e. black screen blinking white underscore in top left corner) let sit way little bit. not thing happened. reboot, , burn myself iso onto dvd @ slowest speed , pop in drive , attempt boot. same thing happened. keep in mind, kept doing needed boot usb , dvd (i.e. hitting delete bios menu (have ever heard of that? delete bios menu key? sure never have before, before got computer!) f8 menu , selecting usb stick or dvd drive, depending of course on booting). @ rate, take out dvd had ubuntu 11.10 on it, booted charm , installed should have. now, problem have don't want 11.10, want 12.04. have had problem mint 13 on system. believe debian still boots, fine, must change made on ubuntu , downstream side. on other computer disk boots fine, must issue hardware, shall list:
cpu: intel core i7-2700k cpu @ 3.50ghz 3501 mhz
motherboard: can't remember exact model, it's asus though.

try find more system information if necessary once reboot ubuntu 11.10

you should provide more information hardware. anyways, can try set kernel options such nomodeset may or may not prevent black screen. more information see here:

hello! i'm trying setup software raid on server, fail @ first step: code: root@sandnabba:/root# mdadm -c /dev/md0 -c512 -l5 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1 /dev/sde1 mdadm: no raid-devices specified. what doing wrong!? are sure -c equivalent --create? also, think need space after -c , -l options, value shouldn't command, or should have = between. @ man pages mdadm , double check spelling.
