...BIOS decides that the CD is bootable and attempts to boot it. After that a blank screen with the cursor in the upper left corner is displayed, forever. Any clues? Should I be using hard disk emulation or turning emulation off? (floppy emulation is out because of size requirements). -- Seth Kurtzberg MIS Corp.

An update to the problem I reported earlier - A kind list reader, Michael K Ter Louw, suggested I try syslinux v1.67, and viola!, my problem went away completely. So something between 1.67 and 1.71 got broke with respect to isolinux. Hmm... Another kind list reader, Seth Kurtzberg, was kind enough to make and effort to send an updated initrd; although it didn't solve the problem, it was quite a generous gesture, thank you. Mike-

...boot twice. Once from a stripped kernel on the floppy disk to mount the CD, and then after the CD is mounted it would reboot with the kernel and initial randisk found on the CD. Am I correct in this, or have I left the trail. Thank you, David G.

Yet another test release for the rewrite in progress. This version generalizes the definition of a boot sector, and puts the boot sector code into all the modules, so that a CD-ROM "boot sector" (like WinNT uses) and a PXE NBP should now all be possible to chainload. PLEASE test it out, pretty please... I haven't heard anything from anyone since at least 1.73-pre2.

Please forgive me if this is a known issue or "feature". I didn't notice anything in the list archives or the docs, so I'm assuming this is a bug. I was attempting to create a bootable LFS cd using the instructions found at http://hints.linuxfromscratch.org/hints/boot-cd_easy.txt. I wasn't following the steps exactly as I had some personal changes I wanted to make. One

First: My English is not that good, I hope you can understand what I mean. We plan to build a recovery system for the computer in our school. We want to put an [computername].tar.bz2 for every computer onto our server. When the computer does not work we want to use a Linux bootdisk to boot the computer, mount the drive, erase what is there and extract the .tar.bz2 onto the disk. This is where we

Hello together, first thanks a lot for your work. It's quite useful on some projects. I encouraged myself to ask you a question: Think I've seen Syslinux booting fli4l on Systems without keyboard, where "keyboard option" has been set to "not installed" in the Bios. There are lot of boards around, e.g. with award bios like those 486 UMC based on UMC 8881/8886, without
