Syslinux - Feb 2003 - Re: iso 2.00 isolinux: Checksum error, sorry... workaround

Hi,

I have a HP pavillion laptop zt1170 and I faced the
same problem reported by,

This seems to be some problem with the HP bios.

Since this laptop does not have a floppy drive it is
almost impossible to install redhat 8.0. I managed to
workaround this problem by doing a minimal
installation of 7.2 and then copying the vmlinuz from
8.0 isolinux directory to overwrite the
/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.7... and initrd.img to overwrite
/boot/initrd-2.4.7...img. and then rebooting the
laptop. This way the new vmlinuz can do net
install/hdd install. In my case I did a hdd install.

Regards,
Srikanth

Could you please make sure to report this to HP?

Anyone here from HP who could perhaps manage to get me access to one of 
these machines?
