I had a question related to the amd64 minimal livecd.
What exactly is happening at the "Unpacking firmware" stage of the boot
process?
Is there a way to find out exactly what firmware is being loaded? Or a way
to boot without loading the firmware?
Why? It is a somewhat strange reason. I am having issues with a high-pitched
hum coming from the audio jacks (occurs on both MB sound and a creative
sound card)
I have a very nice sound system (a sound board, studio monitors...I am an
audio hobbyist), and no other system has these problems, so I am relatively
sure that it is not the speakers/cables.
I have been booting from the liveCD, and I have pinpointed the point at
which the hum starts to something near the *Unpacking firmware stage.
I realize this is somewhat esoteric, but it renders my system almost
useless, and would greatly appreciate any input.
I did interactive mode. The interactive mode only prompts for some of the
items. Among the items it does not prompt for is the firmware unpacking. It
just goes and does it.
