I am having a boot problem with livedvd64_SL55_2010-05-30.iso. md5sum
was fine and it was burned with k3b. Boot fails at/after the step udev
...  Tried a couple of times with the same results. SL
LiveDVD *5.4* boots this machine without a problem.

However, the same 5.5 LiveDVD booted my Sony laptop just fine. So,
this does not look like a media problem.  Maybe it does not work for
certain hardware??

The machine that cannot be booted with the 5.5LiveDVD is running SL5.5 x86_64.

I am going to try to collect more info.
