[Bug 152257] Re: Live CD for i386: ISOLINUX 3.36 (on 7.10) and 3.53 (on 8.04) hang at "loading . . ." before Ubuntu boot loader; 3.31 (Feisty 7.04) was OK

I am afraid you are wrong.
The quiet boot and the quick boot and splash boot are options you disable at Bios Setup, not at any prompt from the Ubuntu (or any other distro) cd / image / anything_you_are_booting_from.
If you disable this at Bios, pretty much it gonna work.
If you don't know what's Bios, get back to Windows. Or MacOS.

Bug description:
  I burnt the 7.10 kubuntu release candidate CD (original MD5 not
  available on web page) from using k3B - and verified the burnt disk as
  OK from the ISO I downloaded.

  Source was:
  http://mirror.optus.net/ubuntu-releases/kubuntu/7.10/kubuntu-7.10-rc-desktop-i386.iso

  Back on my Via CL Eden 600MHz PC (the test install) it loads as far
  as:

  ISOLINUX 3.36 Debian . . . Peter Anvin
  Loading . . . _

  And that's it.

  The Via CL was quite happily running 7.04 prior to being wiped for
  this trial.

  Please feel free to contact me at owen_pg at yahoo.com - although I
  wouldn't know what else to say :-(

  Cheers and good luck.
