Topic: Problem with GParted LiveCD 0.3.4-6 while booting up

I'm trying to partition my brand-new Compaq F503AU laptop, so I downloaded GParted LiveCD 0.3.4-6 and burned it to CD.

I booted it up (trying the auto-config and other video driver options) and it loads pretty quickly and comes up to the lines below and my computer locks up completely:

PCI: Probing PCI hardware
0000:00:0d.0: cannot adjust BAR0 (not I/O)
0000:00:0d.0: cannot adjust BAR1 (not I/O)

I don't know what the heck the device 0000:00:0d.0 is...

I've only got the power cord plugged in and the laptop is brand-new (nothing messed around inside).
I've tried booting up with an older version of the GParted LiveCD (version 0.3-1) and it boots up just fine.

Specs:
AMD Turion64 2.0GHz
512MB RAM
80GB HDD
nVidia chipsets north: C51MV (with mobile integrated graphics), south: MCP51.

Does anyone else have an idea as to what the problem is?

Yes, kernel-bug known.
Please be kind enough to try the last beta I uploaded a couple of days ago, at : http://gparted.free.fr/beta/
Exactly this one : gparted-livecd-0.3.4-7-beta-20070419-16h18.iso

You find a boot option for that should fix your problem ! (Option on line 9th)

Tell me if it does the trick, please.

Thanks,

I'll try using the new BETA of the GParted LiveCD as soon as I finish downloading it (which I'm doing right now).

I've just tried it, and the version 0.3.4-7-beta... doesn't work. sad

It still gives me the same output before it crashes, so it seems that the bug is still not fixed.  sad

Oh well, seems like my new laptop still needs to wait a while longer...
