Re: [Fedora-livecd-list] Live USB image does not complete the boot process

[Taylor, Monroe E]

Yes, it is the Intel 7300 chipset for server. It requires a discrete graphics chip which
in this case is an ATI ES1000. 

I did check out the link and it does appear to be similar but is not the same. This system
I have does not have access to a network connection so I cannot try to remote login with
SSH.

Hi

I assume you are using Intel chipset?

 From the description it sounds a lot like a recent regression tracked 
in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=571525, but that is not 
related to livecd at all ...

It is just a wild guess. Please let the list know if it helped you.
