I am trying to boot from a DVD of openSUSE 13.1 KDE Live -
I have searched these forums and google now a bit, for a problem that comes up for others as well -
"Failed to find MBR identifier
reboot in 120 secs."
I have been able to add boot options splash=verbose
along with kiwidebug=1 to at least get past the reboot in 120 sec. and into a shell
Just now, I went into my installed Fedora and it turns out the burned DVD image has the config.isoclient file that reads :
dev/loop7 ?
So is that probably why "Searching for boot device in Application ID" comes up after a couple seconds
before the much later, well into splash screen for 50 secs message
"Failed to find MBR identifier" . . . It needs MBR ID for dev/loop7 ?
I will try nombridcheck but it will never find a loop7 device, since that is where the image is supposed to reside ?
With the DVD inserted (as well as the same image file mounted again to access the file above - loop0)(sda10 is a swap) I have:
So shouldn't the boot from Live DVD be looking for the boot image on dev/sr0 ?
Thanks for any perspective.
