Hello, Im building my own linux CD, For booting I use isolinux. Problem: isolinux cant find kernel. Hierarchy of CD is: /boot/bzImage /boot/isolinux.bin /boot/isolinux.cfg isolinux.cfg file: DEFAULT linux LABEL linux KERNEL bzImage and for maiking iso I use: mkisofs -o name.iso \ -b boot/isolinux.bin -c boot/boot.cat \ -no-emul-boot -boot-info-table -boot-load-size 4 \ -v -J -R -D -A

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I am trying to build a live fs on a CD that is selfbooting that later installs a pre-configured linux (this is acctually an upgrade, I have already done it before with 1.67). Anyway, I can't get it to work this time. All I see is - -----8<------ Cannot load disk image (invalid file)? - -----8<------ My isolinux/isolinux.cfg file: -

hi! I?m working on a projekt ( unattended.sourceforge.net ) This is using a linuxboot.iso My problem is the following: I opened up the iso with winiso, extrcat the isolinux.cfg, edited it with vi for windows as follows: # isolinux/pxelinux configuration file default unattended label unattended kernel bzImage # Add options (z_user=..., z_path=..., etc.) to this line. append

I am trying to rebuild Red Hat Linux 9 on DVD. I am using the provided isolinux 2.00 (I tried the latest 2.04, with the same results), and I get an error trying to boot from the DVD. I burned the boot.iso (basically a triple-wide boot disk using the same isolinux directory) to DVD, and it booted fine. The error I get when booting the DVD using isolinux-debug.bin is this (copied by hand):

[cross-posted to nntp://comp.os.linux.setup, sorry] Dear Everyone, I'm writing this message merely to publish this information somewhere visible, so that others can find it when debugging a linux-based bootable CD compilation setup... For many months now, I've been using cdrtools 2.0 with isolinux 2.04 to create bootable Linux CD's. I know there are newer versions of both

Hello, I want to modify isolinux.cfg of a given, bootable iso (of Linux CentOs installation) according to my needs. The things is : I copy the contents of that iso to a different directory. I modify the isolinux.cfg according to my needs. Then what? I had of course googled for it. I had tried afterwards: mkisofs -o centos1.iso -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-i But

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, 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

I'm using islonix to build my own 'el torito cd bootable'. I use mkisofs : "mkisofs -o c:\temp\toto.iso -r -J -V "toto" -v -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/isolinux.boot -sort src\isolinux\iso.sort -A "toto" data" When i put only 1-12 files on data/ the cd boot. But when i put many more files on

Hello, I'm Jacques living in France. I have a problem when I use isolinux. I'm working on a multiboot cdrom so I make many "mkisofs" for testing. The problem is that when I modify the "isolinux.cfg" file and then build my image with mkisofs it's the previous configuration of my "isolinux.cfg" which appears on my screen (I run the .iso file with qemu...)

I'm having a problem booting Slackware 10.1 boot CD's as well as an isolinux image of my own. The system is a VIA Epia M10000 and the drive is an AOpen ISU-8424E CD/DVD writer. If I use a Toshiba CD-RW/DVD-ROM Drive SD-R2612 in place of the AOpen DVD writer, the cd boots fine and everything works as expected. What's the best course for further debugging of this problem? The only

Thank you Thomas for your replies and for looking into this issue. My part on the initial investigation that triggered this email thread is relatively small. Others deserve much more credit. I was/am providing not just my own report,

hey, Ive got your syslinux booting a floppy disk that boots an image via NFS just fine and dandy.. default linux-jason prompt 1 display boot.msg timeout 100 label linux-jason kernel vmlinuz append append=root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=xx.xx.xx.xx:/var/local/user/thinpc,rw,v3,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,hard,udp,nolock,posix vga=792 ip=dhcp label linux-egg kernel vmlinuz

Hi All, I've got a simple isolinux cd loading a floppy image via memdisk, that boots reliably on 14 of 15 platforms, but intermittently hangs on one and, unfortunately, I can't substitute the platform. The behavior is weird. If I cold boot the system with the CD already in the drive, it *usually* boots to completion. Warm boots are hit-or-miss. If there's any drive door action

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

Hi, i think i found a suspect in lzo/prepcore.c and it would indeed be a wrong range of checksumming (speculative congratulations to Ady). Looking at http://repo.or.cz/syslinux.git/blob/0d82b71304d596d80f3c4520f9dcf90048ca50b7:/lzo/prepcore.c it seems that this change in line 374 could yield correct checksums: unsigned int ptr; - for (ptr = 64; ptr < offset; ptr += 4) +

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
