gOS Boot Failed

Yesterday, in an attempt to widen my understanding and knowledge of new Linux distros, I created an ISO image of gOS "Space" 2.9.

No problems getting the image.
No problems creating the ISO image disk.

Reboot PC to run live CD....BOOT FAIL

Has anyone else seen this error? I haven't delved very deep into the chasms of the online support documentation for gOS, but from what I have seen, there isn't much there.

I may try another one of there distros this week...maybe.

gOS: A different kind of OS


For those of you out there who enjoy the open source ride, while not needing to know in depth Linux commands, gOS may be right up your alley.

The gOS, which either stands for 'green OS' or 'Google OS', is a user friendly Linux distro designed to be used on UMPCs and cheaper computers. It comes in three flavors: Space, Rocket G and Rocket E.

I am not sure what the difference between the distros is, but I am assuming it is mainly cosmetic. The "Space" version seems to be designed with MySpace users in mind.

The OS is free for download and can be used as a Live CD / DVD once burned to media. I am trying to download the Space version, I will write a review if and when I can!
