Looking for testers and advise about ISOLINUX within ISO 9660
Hi,
we are the developers of an alternative to mkisofs:
program xorriso from libburnia-project.org .
The current development cycle is about support for
creating bootable CDs, DVDs, BDs. So we look for
testers and for advise about ISOLINUX specifics.
The example from the ISOLINUX wiki is supposed to
work if you replace "mkisofs" by "xorriso -as mkisofs".
I.e:

ISOLINUX: why -boot-load-size 4?
Hello,
i'm just curious, why the -boot-load-size 4 for mkisofs
with isolinux.bin is needed. I searched the list archive
and found nothing and found nothing anywhere else.
Since the isolinux.bin is much bigger than 4 * 512 byte,
I'd suspect, it wont get completely loaded.
With -boot-load-size 4, mkisofs reports:
Size of boot image is 4 sectors -> No emulation
Without it, mkisofs

Multiboot with isolinux
I used to use multiple syslinux floppy images to implement what I call
CD-ROM-multiboot (EL Torito supports up to 64 bootable images, Award
BIOS 8 images, if not wrey old). Now that floppies are getting too
small, I find that I must find a workaround for hard coded isolinux
directory name in isolinux. Not a big deal, but there might be also
others who would like to have multiboot feature.

isolinux boot issue...
I'm creating a Linux "live" CD that boots just fine on our newer
machines... but isolinux is not working on some of our older ones. The
older boxes work fine with boot floppy image systems like Knoppix... so
I'm wondering if there's something more I can do to make them happier
with isolinux?
By "older", I mean a generic P-120 motherboard with an Award v4.50PG

ISOLINUX problem booting with no Hard Disk
I am experiencing a problem booting a machine with ISOLINUX on a machine
that has no hard drive (CD-ROM only). I've tried two different machines, a
Dell Poweredge 2600 and a Dell Poweredge 1300, both exhibit identical
symptoms. When I boot the exact same cd on a system with a hard drive, the
boot is just fine.
I had been using ISOLINUX 1.66, but I just upgraded to 2.02 and I am

isolinux not booting - old 486 with SCSI CD writer
I am trying to install Debian Linux on an an old Intel Classic R+ computer that
uses an internal Yamaha SCSI CD writer model CRW8424S connected to an Adaptec
ISA SCSI card (I think its a 1542CP). The CD writer is is the only device
connected to the SCSI card. The computer has one hard drive connected to the
on-board IDE interface, a 1.44MB 3 1/2 inch floppy and a 1.2MB 5 1/4 inch floppy.

El Torito/ISOLinux questions
Hi folks,
I'm new to the list so forgive me if this topic has already been
explained in great detail.
I'm trying to understand how an image gets booted from an EL-TORITO
compabatible CD-ROM, so I have some general questions:
1) Is there a limit of how big the boot image can be? In the
Initial/Default entry I see a "Sector Count" which is only a word long
in length. Does

isolinux + windows installation CD
Hi all,
I am at the end of my wits, after a day and a half of mucking around
with this :)
My intention was to take a multi-boot DVD - of the style you get with
an MSDN subscription - and burn an individual installer to disc.
How to do this? My theory was to take the files for the installation
CD, add isolinux, add a bootsector, and away I go. Unfortunately it
doesn't seem this easy.
So I

@Thomas,
If you would be so kind, would you please remind me (us)...
Is this "32MiB" a limitation related to the UEFI specs in any way? Or

How to use syslinux(isolinux, etc.) for EFI?

I look for your help:
