I have a Compaq something with a PII-400 and an Intel 440BX/ZX/DX chipset. I put in a Maxtor Ultra133 PCI controller (which is a Promise PDC20269, same as their TX2) and connected the hard drive thereto. Before we go on, I should say that I **hate** both Promise and Compaq. I wouldn't actually BUY this junk. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth, as they say. :) (An old idiom I grew up

Hi, On isolinux's website, it is stated that: "NOTE: ISOLINUX will search for the config file directory in the order /boot/isolinux, /isolinux, /. The first directory that exists is used, even if it contains no files. Therefore, please make sure that these directories don't exist if you don't want ISOLINUX to use them." Why this limitation is present?? I'm trying

Hello! El Torito & isolinux test with qemu - 3.06 boots, BUT windows boot files can't be loaded. ISOLINUX 3.06 2005-01-10 isolinux: Image checksum error, sorry... Boot failed: Press a key to retry... - 3.07 boots and starts windows boot files in the second run.

Hello List, I have used isolinux for years without problems. Recently I decided to upgrade from 3.09 to 3.11. Every CD I create can be read on my Vectra (Pentium 3) and all other Pentium 3 boxes, but all my Pentium 4 boxes will not boot (they ignore the CD and boot from hard disk). The bochs VM will boot the CDs fine just like the Pentium 3 machines. I have tried 3.09 (which worked

till last week everything was fine, our cds with isolinux and created with mklinux worked fine. but suddenly our build system fails, the cds don't boot anymore, or more precisely: they do boot in vmware and on several new machines we have, but on lots of other, older machines they suddenly stopped working. we didn't change our scripts, and syslinux and mkisofs is still the same version

I have a non-bug related question, which has been giving me fits for a while. Can ISOLINUX.CFG be updated on a multi-session disc ? It seems not, as I make m/s CDs all the time and can change every other file on the disc, exc ISOLINUX.CFG. My best guess at this point is that ISOLINUX.BIN can't access secondary sessions on the disc, pos related to the boot-info-table patch. Whether

Is it possible for isolinux to support multisession cds? This would be handy for adding kernels to the cd w/o reburning the whole thing.

Greetings, I have been using isolinux with Microsoft's cdimage.exe for my Utility / Preinstallation cds. I just upgraded from 3.36 to 3.55 and found it to be non functional. I didn't use the -debug version, it just hangs at the version banner. I went through several previous versions, and it appears that 3.50-pre23 is the last working version. I didn't see anything between that

hi, i've been trying around for a month or so to get isolinux on my toshiba satellite 4010cdt running. It doesn't really work. The debug version says the following: ISOLINUX 1.75 2002-06-14 ... isolinux: Startinug up, DL = 82 isolinux: Loaded spec packed OK, drive = 82 and that's it. No boot there. If I chain-load (or however that's called) my Isolinux - CDs with "Smart

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: xorriso -as

Hey Guys, I am trying to use the simple menu system to provide menus on my boot CDs. For testing, I have the following entry in my isolinux.cfg file: label linuxmenu kernel menu.c32 append menu32.cfg The option work as it should. I am trying to display two sets of menus. At the bottom of the menu32.cfg I have the following: label 64 menu label Press enter here for

Hi, I tried to install redhat 8.0 on a laptop and ran into the following problem. ISOLINUX 1.75 2002-06-14 isolinux failed to get sector size, assuming 0800 isolinux: Image checksum error, sorry... At that point, I followed the advice on the isolinux webpage, and reburned a CD using isolinux 2.00 with debug. The error message was: ISOLINUX 2.00 2002-10-25 Copyright (C) 1994-2002 H. Peter

I'm wondering if there's a way to specify the memory address that ISOLINUX loads its image into. I have a couple "all-in-one" boot CDs that use ISOLINUX to load the boot disk images, like Memtest-86, etc, that can't load because the memory it's going to be loaded to test is bad. For example, one I'm trying to load is a laptop with onboard RAM that's bad past

hello a while ago i posted a question about my troubles remastering isolinux bootable cds. after that Steffen Winterfeldt helped me out a lot and now my problems are gone. i wrote a document about my experiences and i thought i'd share it with you: http://littlesvr.ca/isomaster/eltoritosuppl.php and since i'm in pimping mode, my interest in isolinux is purely because of iso master (

Hi Peter, I tried isolinux-1.73, its great! Because of some problems making a universal boot-CD I tried to use bocs-1.4 (a PC emulator, very good). This emulator is able to boot a win98-installation-CD but fails on self made isolinux-1.73-CDs. I can coot the isolinux-CD by a real PC without problems. Also a SuSE-Linux CD or an image of it which claims to use solinux-1.62 is bootable in bochs, but

Quick Question About Bootable CDs: Am I correct in assuming that ISOLINUX locates its files by accessing a Directory Tree in ASCII addressed by the Primary Volume Descriptor in the final session of the CD? I'm working on an On-The-Fly CDR Archiving Program and doing some advance research into Boot Mechanisms. Faictz Ce Que Vouldras: Frank Mitchell

Hi Peter, I'm doing some work for HP creating various flavours of bootable CDs, and am using isolinux for i386 and elilo for ia64. We wanted the same interface on both systems, with the ability to choose a boot option from a menu with the cursor keys. To implement this I enhanced isolinux to support two new control fields in the message file: 0x01 ^A Mark left- or right-hand end of the

I've been making my own custom RHEL / CentOS boot CDs for years, and all of the instructions for such work call out to take a distro's CD, and copy key files from it. Among those files are those that I think are associated with the the SYSLINUX/ISOLINUX project; e.g.: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/os/x86_64/images/ http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/os/x86_64/isolinux/ Two

Hello, I have two very rudimentary questions regarding the random effects terms in the lme and lmer functions. I apologize if this also partly strays into a general statistics question, but I'm a bit new to this all. So hopefully it'll be a quick problem to sort out... Here is my experimental setup: I raised butterflies in 5 different testing chambers all set to different

Hi, some time ago I tried to boot an isolinux boot loader from another one to be able to boot e.g. a Knoppix CD with its original boot loader and menus from a "main" isolinux on a multiboot DVD. This works for isolinux <= 3.07 now! However, newer isolinux boot loaders have some problems and the isolinux (e.g. of the Knoppix CD) loaded from the multiboot DVD's main isolinux
