Cool so something was better this time round with the media I talked to the developer of loader tsoome (cc'd as he is not on this list) today.
Basically the situation you where experiencing with loader and the text image can only happen if the system is returning reads with one of following codes: result == 0x20 || result == 0x31 || result == 0x80 - we do not print error messages on those. 0x20 is controller failure, 31 and 80 are no media in drive If the system is reporting read errors, only thing loader can do is to reset the controller and try again - the biosdisk.c does 3 attempts there (except for those 3 errors). What you could try is booting via UEFI mode and see if that works. My guess is that Dell broke something in the old Bios Bootloader code. The new error you are getting from the gui image could also be a read error. Could you post the output of lsdev from the ok prompt? I am curious if loader is able to see the VirtualCD drive.
