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

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

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

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. The first one gives: isolinux: Disk error 0C, AX = 4204, drive E0 - 3.08 boots und starts windows boot files in

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

Hi, I am trying to boot from an external USB hard drive (partition 1: Windows, partition 2: primary/bootable ext3). I took the kernel-image-2.6.8-1-368.deb and created a new initrd with all modules, root=/dev/sda2 and Busybox (mkinitrd failed with my own kernel ;-) isolinux.cfg contains: PROMPT 1 DEFAULT sda2 LABEL sda1 KERNEL vmlinuz APPEND initrd=initrd ramdisk=16432k root=/dev/sda1

hi, I want to prepeare a CD which will use isolinux to boot so I got the source code of isolinux. Unfortunately I couldn't find enough document to satify my needs.Therefore I got the isolinux folder of Xubuntu CD and I have modified the isolinux.cfg file.My content of modified isolinux.cfg file is shown below. DEFAULT /boot/kernel-2.6.16.24-49 GFXBOOT bootlogo APPEND boot=boot

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

hi everyone, I am trying to create a custom live cd but I am having some problems with isolinux. A rough sketch of my process : 1) bootstrapped a small rpm based system in /target 2) dd if=/dev/zero of=images/initrd.img bs=1k count=262144 3) /sbin/mke2fs -F -v -m0 images/initrd.img 4) mount -o loop images/initrd.img ./initrd_tmp 5) cp -av /target/* ./initrd_tmp 6) umount 7) gzip -9 <

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

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

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

Hi, I'm trying to create a bootable CD, and so far I have had limited success. On the first CD I created, isolinux worked, but I think I had a kernel without the necessary initrd support compiled in, so the boot failed. Now I can't even re-create that success. At the moment the CD's I'm burning (3 so far) do not even show the display file. I used isolinux-debug.bin for the

Folks I've just tried booting the 1st Linux CD I've made using Isolinux and it fails. At boot time I see: Boot from ATAPI CD-ROM: No Emulation ISOLINUX 1.67 2002-02-03 Copyright (C) 1994-2001 H.

While developing a custom distro based on CentOS we experienced a "strange" problem: the cd didn't boot on some machines where it previously did. We build the cd using this command: bootimg='isolinux/isolinux.bin' bootcat='isolinux/boot.cat' #mkisopts='-r -N -L -d -D -J' mkisopts='-r -J' mkisofs $mkisopts \ -V "$distname
