Other Help Topics :: Freezes on boot
I couldn't boot from a cd-rom image, or a usb image done with instructions from the documentations section.
More specifically it would start to boot, then get to the "Checking for USB" section and freeze there.
When I booted from the cd-rom image, I could boot fully under failsafe, but understandably it didn't work with USB.
They both just freeze right at "Checking for USB" otherwise.
