Any errors? What is the experience when you try to boot? We can not map a
problem to an entire manufacturer since the only mentioned was that it was

I know this might sound like a stupid question, but did you verify the
md5sum of the download before you burned the iso?.  please give us detailed
information so we can help you out.
