similar to: help isolinux with multiple iso-images on disk?

I am trying to PXE boot an ISO image using ISOLINUX. I am starting small just trying to get anything working but seem to be having problems. I followed the instructions on the isolinux page (http://syslinux.zytor.com/iso.php) but still cannot get it to work. I can get the ISO image to try to load but then it stops at the booting message. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here is

Hi, It is becoming a bad habit for big OEM vendors to sell computers & servers without floppy drives. Unfortunatly both Windows and Linux (RedHat) need a floppy drive to load storage drivers etc. during installation. This is what I was thinking: Use ISOLINUX and MEMDISK to load a floppy image of a driver disk into memory as a viritual floppy drive "A:"/"/dev/fda" And then

Hi all, Is there some way of syslinux or isolinux providing direct support for boot iso bootable images? I can use syslinux/isolinux to boot different ramdisks and floppy disks images fine on a single CD-ROM disk. But I want to use syslinux/isolinux to boot different bootable iso images from a single CDROM disk. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. New! Give your email a serious boost ...

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

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

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 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 having the

Hi all, I am using sys/isolinux for a mini-distro I am developing (movix.sf.net) and I have a few questions based on the feedback I got from users. As it is well known, there are some BIOS on which isolinux does not work, so I had to create a boot floppy image for those unfortunate users that have that kind of BIOS. The floppy boots, looks for the CD and, if succesful, mounts the CD initrd.gz

I am using isolinux to load the floppy firewall project. I have a bootable floppy and the configuration works well. I have managed to get isolinux to load the operating system but when it comes time to mount (something?) in response to the root=??? part of the append line the operation stops and I land in a shell without having loaded any of the firewall files to the ram disk. All of the

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, I try to boot some bootcd copy on the hard drive. I read (an try) that it's impossible to boot a cdrom .ISO image . ok So now I "unzip" the .iso into a folder (not a partition ! Because I have lot of .iso), and convert the entry from the isolinux.cfg to a valid grub entry (put in my menu.lst). The iso come from a bootable cd with isolinux. I will make a script for the

Hi i am trying to use the isolinux part of syslinux1.75. I create a CD with isolinux.bin or isolinux-debug.bin but i always receive a disk error 80. This error just happens on my system .. other systems don't seem have this error. Debug output says that it opened the config file ( and all that stuff before) but the the disk error occurs. I searched the web and syslinux site but i found no

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. The hard

H. Peter, I came across the first system where isolinux failed to load: ======================================================= Isolinux 1.63 2001-8-6 Copyright ... isolinux: Starting up, DL = F0 isolinux: Loaded spec packet OK, drive = F0 isolinux: Sector size appears to be 0800 isolinux: Loading main image from LBA, 0003F25D isolinux: Sectors to load = 0004

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

Look into the original XP cd and see where NTLDR is located, then place it on your cd in the same directory and it 'should' work. I have created some 2000 XP boot cd's with integrated recent service pack's and they still boot. But I do that with cdrecord+original boot sector, not with any isolinux stuff... But I hope this help! -----Original Message----- From: G. Murali

Hello all, I plan to make an (emergency) multi OS bootable CD which contain: - Win98 boot floppy (create from Win 98 control panel, add remove program) - WinME boot floppy (create from Win 98 control panel, add remove program) - Linux boot disk - Win NT boot disk - Win 2000 recovery console - Win XP recovery console - Winternal Administrative Pak (ERD Commander etc) I am new to Linux and feel

Hello SYSLINUX, I have been searching for a resource for the "Disk error" messages coming out of isolinux. I am seeing the message "isolinux: Disk error 20, AX=425 c, drive EF" on many occasions where a combination of questionable Linux OS media comes in contact with touchy LITE-ON DVD/RW Drives attempting to load Red Hat Linux. We know that changing the Drive or

I'm succesfully using isolinux for bootable cd creating, but I want to emulate work with cdrom using hard disk (I have not cd writer at home). Is it possible to use small hard disk as cdrom equivalent? How to do it? I tried using the /dev/hdc1 as output file of isolinux, and after moving disk as primary master and rebooting, bios says that bootrecord is found on IDE-0 and... nothing. It
