Re: [GParted-Devel] GParted 0.16.2 Released

[Curtis G. <ge...@gm...>]

Hi Steven,

Thank you for creating these new GParted Live images.

Unfortunately I have not been able to boot any of these new .iso images 
on a physical computer.  ;-(

Usually I test .iso images in a Virtual Machine.  For a stable release, 
I also test on at least three different physical computers.

While the gparted-live-0.16.2-1-i486.iso image booted in my VM, it 
failed to boot on 3 different computers.  This prompted me to do more 
testing

For testing I used 3 different computers, and 3 different CD-RWs.  I did 
not test every combination and permutation of versions, computers, and 
CD-RWs, however I am quite confident in the following results:

gparted-live-0.16.2-1-i486.iso   --- fails to boot on computer
gparted-live-0.16.2-1-i686-pae.iso  --- fails to boot on computer
gparted-live-0.16.2-1-amd64.iso   --- fails to boot on computer

Since none of these above versions worked I started testing earlier 
versions:

gparted-live-0.16.2-beta1-2-i486.iso   --- fails to boot on computer
gparted-live-0.16.2-beta1-i486.iso   --- fails to boot on computer

The earlier versions I was able to boot on a physical computer are:

gparted-live-0.16.1-4-i486.iso   --- boots successfully
gparted-live-0.16.1-1-i486.iso    --- boots successfully

Based on these results it would appear that something changed between 
gparted-live 0.16.1-4 and 0.16.2-beta1 that causes boot to fail on 
physical computers.

Hopefully my testing results will help with troubleshooting the problem.

If you have any questions or would like me to perform further testing, 
then please let me know.

Regards,
Curtis
