Hi folks, I'm new to the list so forgive me if this topic has already been explained in great detail. I'm trying to understand how an image gets booted from an EL-TORITO compabatible CD-ROM, so I have some general questions: 1) Is there a limit of how big the boot image can be? In the Initial/Default entry I see a "Sector Count" which is only a word long in length. Does

Hi, My problem is not uncommun, I have an old machine I'd like to use as a linux internet FW. The Bios is old and does not let me boot from an el torito bootable CD( 1998 PC) The CD's OK on other machines, boots fine Is there any way to get . isolinux on floppy, . when PC read floppy, isolinux tell it to boot from the /dev/hdc device, all bootfiles are in /isolinux on the CD

A very special thanks to H. Peter for finding the time to [at least partially, if not wholly] scrutinize and merge the El Torito emulation code for MEMDISK! I'd like to ask that those who've previously used the stale MEMDISK-ISO switch to this latest[1] MEMDISK proper and report any failures. Gert, I believe this version addresses the PloP .ISO trouble you reported. Could you

Hi, i'm possibly not the best source of general SYSLINUX knowledge, as my interest in it is only with my xorriso hat on. (As you can see in the SYSLINUX wiki, xorriso can do the isohybridization without the need for the isohybrid program.)

Hi, I've been running the foreign language training program The Rosetta Stone(TRS) on wine for months now, but a recent commit to the linux kernel has caused TRS to be unable to read the DVD drive, where the program's data files are kept. Strangely, winefile can still read the data DVD, but TRS cannot, and I'm stumped. Below is the guilty kernel commit (rather long, sorry). Can

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 (

Hello, I have the following scenario: - GPT Partitioned USB disk with syslinux (or extlinux) on the first partition and a menu to boot each partition; all of them are iso9660 images of different linux distros, - Before dumping every iso image into its partition space on the USB disk I need to remaster it changing something on its initrd to be able to coexist with other linux distros on the

Hi, Ady wrote: > [hard disk emulation boot image works with VirtualBox] For a reader of the UEFI specs this comes very unexpected. Together with the report of Pascal that a hard-disk-emulation works even with mkisofs option -b (i.e. Platform Id x86 BIOS) it appears that the UEFI implementation treats the El Torito boot image like the whole device, regardless of Platform Id. On (virtual)

Hi, > I don't understand why you say "*But* the El Torito...". I don't see > a difference with what the mkisofs manual says. The manual announces "Mac" for Apple Mac. The program obviously writes Platform Id 1 in this case. The El Torito specs say "Platform ID 0 = 80x86 1=Power PC 2=Mac". In the sum this does not match. A bug in mkisofs would be the

Is this "32MiB" a limitation related to the UEFI specs in any way? Or is it relevant for BIOS
