Hardware Specific / 2.04 fails to boot on gateway e-2600 and e2610 systems

« on: August 07, 2014, 08:37:53 AM »

Cannot get 2.04 or 2.04L to boot from the USB stick on these circa 2007 systems. 14.04 LTS live USB boots fine. 1.4 installed and running fine. Would like to upgrade to 64bit. the 2600 is a Pentium 4 HT with 2GB of ram. The 2610 is a Intel Core Duo with 2GB of ram. I have multiple systems of each type and none of them boot 2.04. I tried to get to the GRUB menu by holding down the shift key during boot. Need a way to turn on debug to see what is going on...any ideas?

BTW - installed 2.04L on a Intel Pentium 4 Dell machine and it works fine.
