Hi,
I am new to linux and have this problem with booting plop.
I have a laptop with no CD and also BIOS does not support USB boot. I am trying to setup plop to be able to netboot this laptop.
The booting of plop freezes and the last line in output is emc: device handler registred.
I also tried to netboot one Virtual Machine with same setup and everything went smooth. So i am guessing the problem is with laptop hardware.
can you please help me with that.
Thanks

hi,
yes, it seems to have to do with your laptop. whats the name of the laptop? can you post a digital photo of the screen when it hangs?
