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.

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, 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'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,

In fact, I discovered that the bug is caused when there is no primary hard disk image (no hard disk 0). When an HD image is created and attached, ISOLINUX works well: ISOLINUX 1.75 2002-06-14 Copyright (C) 1994-2002 H.

Hello! I'm trying to boot with a remastered Knoppix 3.4 CD.

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

The commit to isohdpfx.S of 2009-05-31 looks incomplete. The sequence of the stack pointers was swapped, but the sequence of stack pushes was not.

Greetings, I have been using isolinux with Microsoft's cdimage.exe for my Utility / Preinstallation cds. I just upgraded from 3.36 to 3.55 and found it to be non functional. I didn't use the -debug version, it just hangs at the version banner. I went through several previous versions, and it appears that 3.50-pre23 is the last working version. I didn't see anything between that

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):

Hello ! I have only 2 questions concerning my problem : 1) is there any limitation on the size of the kernel with isolinux ? (mine is 1230215 bytes. perhaps it's too big ?) 2) Is isolinux compatible with the use of the -z option of mkisofs, (transparent iso compression) even if the isolinux directory is not concerned by the compression ? That's all. sylvain

Hi, C/H/S addressing and reading of first block seems to be ok in isohdpfd.bin. The main suspect for the failure of the attempt with isohdpfd.bin is the number or content of the blocks read after the first one. But i have no clue why isohdpfc.bin should do better than isohdpfd.bin. They differ just by one instruction (JC = 0x72 versus JMP = 0xEB) which both are performed before the reading and

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 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

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 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.

I have another case where I see this failure as well and am expectantly waiting.

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

Due to limitations of equipment, I have need of using the isolinux boot loader with .iso files generated by roxio. After trying (and of course failing) with an off the shelf version of isolinux, I grabbed the source for isolinux (syslinux 2.11 package) and started looking. It took a few hours to orient myself, but I ended up doing the modification below to isolinux.asm. I then had to write
