similar to: ISOLINUX / DVD-R question

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

I'm wondering if it's possible to use isolinux on a bootable CDR to boot an ISO9660 disk image off of the CDR's filesystem. I'm trying to make a multi-boot CD which is capable of booting both floppy images and smaller ISO9660 images (such as the debian netinst or DSL - damnsmall linux), and I am wondering if isolinux is capable of doing this (or something similar to this -

I was given a custom CentOS 5.4 DVD, containing some Digium software for one of our customers. I need to turn this burned DVD into an image that can be written to a USB thumb drive. First, I ripped the DVD to an ISO image. That part works OK, my testing VM can load and run the custom kickstart script on the image. After totally frying my unetbootin install, I decided to try and use isohybrid

Is it possible to use isolinux to create a bootable dvd? I have a .iso that boots fine from cd but not from dvd. I have a Dell OptiPlex GX240 with dvd/cd drive. Dont know for sure if the bios requires an update to boot dvd. Any info would be appreciated.

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 (

We have been using syslinux (V4.05) in our product for years without a problem. Since we encounter more and more systems that do a UEFI boot by default we want to support that too. So I've been using syslinux V6.03 to create usb sticks and harddisks to allow both bios and uefi boot which works fine. The problem I run into now is that it is not possible to create a dvd that is capable of

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

Actually firmware cannot find any UEFI specified booting starting points in an ISO 9660 filesystem that was created with mkisofs -b and -hard-disk-boot, but without a boot image which was marked as EFI System Partition.

Hi I just grabbed an 8gig thumb drive, took disk 1 centos 4 i386, copied the isolinux directory files to my thumbdrive, then ran syslinux -sf /dev/sdc1 on the device plugged it into my laptop and it does not boot. Is there a step(s) I am missing to get a bootable thumbdrive with centos? Thanks, Jerry

Hi all; I downloaded the centos 4.3 image onto my linux box and used k3b to burn a DVD iso image. It seemed to work fine. I have an SuSE laptop and I want to setup a CentOS VM via Vmware 5.5 If I insert the dvd and boot the new vm I get 'no operating system found' It seems to be a non-bootable dvd. Is there something additional I need to do when burning the dvd image to make it

Hi All, My question is: Is it possible to make a DVD-R/DVD+R with a boot menu so that you could select a particular bootable ISO on the DVD, and boot into that distro? Asked another way, is it possible to boot an ISO burned as an ISO9660 file on CD or DVD media? If it is, how can this be accomplished? TIA, Andrew.

This one is the most critical for my app, but also possibly the most controversial to integrate. A few applications that convert isolinux ISOs to bootable USB, including mine, copy the ISO content to a VFAT formatted partition and then add syslinux to make it bootable. This would work great... if isolinux and syslinux shared the same defaults when it comes to configuration files.

Hi. I am trying to build a bootable linux CD using isolinux and a cloop image. I am a bit lost right now. What I have done is built a custom distro on a seperate partition on my hard drive. I can boot to it with Grub no problem. I've added the ioslinux directory with isolinux.bin, isolinux.cfg, a kernel (with initrd, loopback, iso support), and an initrd file. My next mission is to some

Peter, First, I'm not a programmer and I don't have Linux. The reason I am emailing you is that I spend the two weeks looking over your site and other trying to figure out " HOW to create an ISOLinux image or convert my existing ISO image to and ISOLinux image. I have some software called" Flashboot" that can take and ISOLinux image and can create a bootable Flash drive of

Peter, Thank you for isolinux. What a relief to be rid of floppy images! ISOLINUX works great except in one puzzling instance. I recently upgraded my system with a Promise Ultra 133 (PDC20269) controller. In order to boot from either the hard drive or CDROM drive connected to this controller I set the boot device in the motherboard BIOS to SCSI. Everything seemingly works great. Until we get

Hi Mr Anvin, after downloading the Freedos bootable cd, which now uses your projects (ISOLINUX & MEMDISK) instead of Bart Lagerweij's DISKEMU (www.nu2.nu), I contacted the creator of the freedos cdrom. I was interested in how he did make that cd bootable. Now I understand it a bit. As I'm a MS Windows user, I had to figure some things out. However, upon booting I get a beautiful
