Topic: GPARTED is not booting

Hi,

I am having Win Vista on HP Laptop with Core 2 duo processor.  I want to make it dual-boot with XP.

When I boot using the GParted ISO, The Welcome Screen of GNOME Partition Appears, and on pressing 'enter' for booting up, it kind of hangs, and nothing comes after it.

My GParted-livecd version is 0.3.4-svn, which was burned from gparted-livecd-0.3.4-2.iso.  After entering for boot, it shows, following message and then hangs.
Loading gparted......
Loading gparted.gz.....

I seleced all the booting options by Pressing F2  like (Intel, Visa), but its hanging for all.

Will really appreciate any help on this.

Thanks
Vinit

Re: GPARTED is not booting

You have to disable duo core cpu in bios, and this will solve the problem.
I saw someone who got the same problem a couple of days ...

Re: GPARTED is not booting

I didnt find any option in the bios to disable duo core cpu.

Is there any patch available which allow to do it or any other workaround?

Re: GPARTED is not booting

I really dunno. One user told me he did it : disable this function in bios.
anyway, try the last beta iso : i have enable a "nofb" option : it will show you where it hangs, and maybe i can fix it ...

Installed the beta-2. It hangs while loading vmlinuz1.igz.

The last message it displayed before hanging is
loading vmlinuz1.igz ....
