Bug Description

While booting on the CD, I simply get the error 17 when the system loads grub. I
checked the md5sum of the iso, and the CD works without any problem on a
friend's PC.

Here is my configuration:
  AMD Barton 2600
  Motherboard Asus A7V8X-X
  ATI Radeon 7000

Hope I'll get Ubuntu working soon ;) Just ask if you need some more information.
Thanks,

Yann

Some BIOS's have problems booting in non emulation mode, according to the El
Torito specification
Probably the best, if you create a bootfloppy.

problem with the bios.. or maybe?

knoppix used syslinux, we are using grub.

the bug is a wontfix, best way upfrade your bios or create a bootfloppy,
probably using syslinux, will help in feature, it must be discussed.
