Plop boot manager on old PC

[jslegers]

Hello,

I'm trying Plop Bootmanager on an Siemens Fujitsu PC.
I have installed the bootmanager on a cd to boot from.
It boots and finds the USB Stick but when I want to start something form the menu (Xboot stick) it freezes with Launching Grub. Starting cmain() name.iso.
I have tried it on an other PC and it works good. What could be the problem that it won't start on the Siemens?

hi,

It boots and finds the USB Stick but when I want to start something form the menu (Xboot stick) it freezes with Launching Grub. Starting cmain() name.iso.

does that mean, you see the menu of the boot manager that is on the usb drive and when you select there something then you get the error? or you get the error when the plop boot manager starts the other boot manager on the usb drive?
