New installation from disc - "can't load kernel"

PierreDid

@debesty i had the same problem with AMD64 version
I used an i386 version exactly 2.2.6 and the installation went fine
then update to 2.3.5 in the http admin console
I hope this will help

If you care about security (and I assume since you're here you do ) then you really shouldn't be running anything that old.

@impatient said in New installation from disc - "can't load kernel":

I am still trying to figure this out, How and Why would a Window's install disable a bios setting?

As far as I know, Windows (Microsoft) doesn't force you to update your BIOS : I never saw a BIOS update to be part of Wndows Update scheme.
But ... If you were notified by the OEM software that came with your PC, and it updates your BIOS, then this BIOS installer could find out that it's running '10' and thus preset some safety features for you, like booting from nothing else except the EUFI based hard drive.
Not accepting DVD's CD's or USB flash drives does make your system more safe.

It's something like that, or you're not the only one adminning your system ^^

Mmm, that seems extremely unlikely!

@stephenw10 :
Well, that are the little green ones.

@gertjan
Who said anything about updating bios or oem software?

A 10-pass wiped disk has no oem software or anything else on it worth mentioning.

Maybe something was lost in translation or I do not know how to make myself clear but newest window's-10 iso Did some strange thing's.

Anyway I am glad the OP resolved his issue

I have the same issue on Athlon CPU 2 cores, 2GB Ram with ISO CD 2.4.5

Is ok on 2.4.4-p3 though !!

@bambos @stephenw10 More evidence that there might be something wrong specifically with the ISO image of 2.4.5-p1. As has been suggested earlier in this thread, it might be that few people are using this method of installation any longer (and I myself gave up and used a USB drive in the end), but if this is a reproducible issue, then it might be worth investigating?

I had a GEDODE board that refused to boot from USB , and made a CD. Now it "booted" , but i think i got the same error as above.

I don't have access to my notes right now , but i think the solution was to specify some kind of "Wait for disk ready" delay or retrys , in the CLI.

And then boot.
