Ubuntu

from cd can boot 15.10 but not 14.04

Asked by dan tiernan

i am able to install 15.10 on my hard drive and found that this version does not save dummy interfaces after a reboot. so i am trying to downgrade to 14.04. When I put in the cd to boot from, my system sees it, i choose either boot or install, the system starts to read the cd, i get the ubuntu screen, but then the screen goes blank. I can stick in the 15.10 cd and all is well.

my machine is a hp elitedesk min 800 g2.

i have burned anothe cd with the same results.

any ideas why the behavior im seeing?

Did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?
Did you burn the CD as slowly as possible?

yes i did confirm.

i create a new dvd and burned at 2x.

the cd loads, i have a ubuntu screen, i hear the cd reading back and forth, the dots are ticking off the screen, then the screen goes blank, but i conutine to hear the cd continue to access the cd for about 15 seconds, then it stops
