I have tried to use isolinux 2.05, and I am running into a problem where it will not boot. I have previously used version 1.66, and the older version works just fine. Changing nothing except dropping the new version in does not work. Below is all of the relevant info, I believe. This occurs on multiple machines with different BIOS. I am currently in process of doing a binary search to find the

HPA, I believe that support to boot windows CD bootsectors was broken in 3.05. I have tested 2.13, 3.00, 3.02, 3.05, 3.06, 3.08, 3.11, and 3.20pre6. All versions >= 3.05 are broken. All versions <= 3.02 work fine with the same config. The error message I get is: ================================================================ IOSLINUX 3.20 3.20-pre6 Copyright (C) 1994-2005 H.

Hpa, Dell ships a CD called Dell OpenManage Server Assistant that, starting with version 8.0 released last November, is a Linux-based bootable CD. It uses ISOLINUX to load a linux kernel/initrd combo to start the system. From version 8.0 to 8.2 we use isolinux version 1.66. Starting with version 8.3 we have upgraded to version 2.08. First of all, I'd like to say thanks for your excellent

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

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):

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

Hi, I've been using Isolinux Boot CD for a while now and it's working great. This weekend, I decided to install it on my hard drive so I can boot Isolinux of the Hard drive. I used the famous command : "syslinux -s c:" to initialize the drive then I copied all the .img file to that drive. Then I renamed the "isolinux.cfg" to "syslinux.cfg" to get to my

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

Hi all, I have merged Tim's patches to the mboot loader, and have pushed it out as 3.20-pre7. I guess I'm going to actually have to make a 3.20 here soon... -hpa

Hello List, I have a problem with an Onborad scsci, that won't boot a isolinux-cd: anyone got a clue? Mainboard is ASUS-CUV4X-DLS with onboard LSI 35c1010-33 Controller. Board-Bios is Award Medaillion 6.0 and Controller Bios is Symbios SDMS v4.0 (4.18.02) The CDRW device to boot from is a Yamaha CRW2100S Rev1.0H I tried Isolinux 1.63 and 1.66 with similar "success": here's

Hello, I have recently downloaded Sorcerer GNU Linux (http://sorcerer.wox.org/) which uses ISOLINUX for booting the installation CD-ROM. Problem is, I can not get the CD-ROM to boot. I have tested it on another computer, and it works fine (The CD-ROM has been written correctly). When I boot it on my home system, it gives me this error message: ISOLINUX 1.66 2002-01-01 isolinux: Disk error 00,

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

I've created a bootable cd with isolinux but it can't load the kernel. It detects everything fine, decompresses the initrd, loads and decompresses the kernel and then tries to boot the kernel. But after that the computer hangs. Here's the screen dump: ISOLINUX 1.73 2002-05-26 Copyright (C) 1994-2002 H. Peter Anvin isolinux: Starting up, DL = 9F isolinux: Loaded spec packet OK,

Hello, This is my first post ever in a mailing-list so I hope I do the things correctly. First, thank's to the author for these amazing tools. With Isolinux, I am making my own DVD multiboot with multiple liveCDs combined. I can get to work everything without even modifying livecds hierarchy. But now I need an important function that I can't get to work: DISPLAY boot.msg In fact to be

Deal all, Hi. I'm a new user of isolinux. And I 'm trying to boot a WinXP installation CD with it. I extracted the bootsect, and place it into the same folder together with isolinux.bin. Here's a section of my isolinux.cfg: ... label winxp kernel xpsect.bin ... The boot splash showed fine. Unfortunately when I tried to boot it, I got the following: ISOLINUX 3.11 2005-09-02

Hello, I am working on a legacy BIOS extension that is used to provide a centralised and managed boot process for a secure environment. Due to an assortment of reasons the access to hard disk / CD-ROM devices has had to be implemented at a low level (reading/writing IDE controller registers) rather than relying on the int 13h services provided by the system BIOS. Booting hard disks is working

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

Sorry for the delay, we were too busy drinking and playing with explosives yesterday. :) Here are some tests. We did one on a similar machine and it worked. We deleted the configuration file, obviously. # Dell OptiPlex GX620 ISOLINUX 5.11 5.11-pre7 isolinux: Starting up, DL = 82 isolinux: Loaded spec packet OK, drive = 82 isolinux: Main image LBA = 00000115 isolinux: Image checksum error,

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

I'm not exactly sure what you need. Is this it? ISOLINUX 4.06 0x513e88f5 isolinux: Starting up, DL = 82 isolinux: Loaded spec packet OK, drive = 82 isolinux: Main image LBA = 0000011D isolinux: Main image read, jumping to main code... I created an iso with isolinux-debug.bin as the boot loader and booted it on that machine. If this is not what you are looking for, what are correct steps?
