Failure booting CD on elderly gateway
...all on
other systems. The machine appears to be working (in some sense) because I
cannot get it to fail when using DOS and mscdex. In fact under DOS I can
see the contents of the CD's filesystem (although I only did a cursory
test).
I changed the CD drive (from a Mitsumi FX120T to an Acer CD-912E/ATK) and
got the same result. I changed all of the BIOS settings that might possibly
affect the CD BIOS and got the same result. So it appears to me that there
is a severe incompatibility between the machine and SYSLINUX.
The machine is a Gateway P5-133 model BATC with BIOS version 1.00.03.CN0T...
