I downloaded openSuSE 12.2-RC1 (Build0050 x86-64) and verified the sha256 checksum. I have burned three (3) DVDs by different methods but none of them would boot, instead going right to existing grub menu.
The methods I used were k3b, brasero, and dd. K3b and brasero both burned the DVD with no errors and verified them. DD returned a message about the DVD ran out of room so couldn’t complete. The procedures I used in k3b and brasero are the same ones I've used in the past (scripted-I only have to enter the file path).
Is anyone else having this problem?

Just installed RC1 and it works perfect. You probably have to change the boot order in your BIOS to try first to boot from your CD/DVD device before going to your hard disk.
No, the boot order in BIOS is correct: removable media (usb), CD/DVD, hard disk. I also did a dd to a usb stick and that was successful using the same iso image. I'm wondering if I might have a problem with the drive or defective DVD media (Maxwell DVD-R).
The message when doing the dd to the DVD (not enough space) makes me think the size is being reported incorrectly.
Try burning it to a dual-layer DVD.

I burned the iso file to a rewritable DVD using k3b with a check step after the burning step. I had to repeat the burning, because the check showed an error. The second time the check was OK. So it should work using k3b. -- fr.gr. Freek de Kruijf -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
