Syslinux - Jun 2004 - mkisofs /proc/kcore error

hi there,

hope this is not too much out of topic here...
i give it a try anyway :-)

when i try to build the iso with:
mkisofs i get the following error:

[...]
Using TTYX2000.;1 for  ./dev/ttyX2 (ttyx2)
Using TTYS0000.;1 for  ./dev/ttys0 (ttyS0)
Using TTYY3000.;1 for  ./dev/ttyY3 (ttyy3)
Using FD0H360000.;1 for  ./dev/fd0H360 (fd0h360)
Using TTYX1000.;1 for  ./dev/ttyx1 (ttyX1)

Size of boot image is 4 sectors -> No emulation
2.36% done, estimate finish Mon Jun 14 12:31:16 2004
mkisofs: Operation not permitted. cannot open './proc/kcore'

does anyone have an idea??

You're executing MKISOFS from a way too high level.
maybe even from / (root).

MKISOFS generally needs to be invoked from the cdrom-root
(root of your ISO contents tree).

example:

mkisofs -o /test.iso -q -l -N -R -r -boot-info-table -iso-level 4 -no-emul-boot
-b isolinux/isolinux.bin /test/my_iso

directory /test/my_iso contains all files you want on cdrom,
and since this mailing list is Sys/PXE/IsoLinux related, contains
test/my_iso/isolinux/isolinux.bin (and isolinux.cfg at same directory).

the final ISO file you create is /test.iso

for options I used, see MKISOFS manpage.

and so far for my (lack of) Linux knowledge..
