Syslinux - Jul 2003 - ia64 boot cd

Hi,

I am trying to create a boot cd for ia64 systems which will go into the efi
shell, map to fs0 (cdrom) and give a help message on screen. I have tried
creating a CD using isolinux but this boots as the Red Hat AW2.1 CD 1 and
ignores the message file. After selecting the efi shell and mapping to fs0 then
entering - elilo linux ks=nfs:<ip address>:<kickstart file> I get
the message 'elilo' not found.

Regards,

John Windscheffel

AFAIK syslinux doesn't support IA64, so I wonder why isolinux does anything
on IA64.

The EFI part of the image is a small dos formatted boot partition.  You will
need to extract that first, mount as loop device and modify.  Then create new
ISO with:

mkisofs -no-emul-boot -b boot.img (where boot.img is the dos partition) -c
boot.catalog -R -T -J -o output.iso .

You might also try the kickstart and ia64-linux mailing lists for more help.
