Hi: I am having problems with isolinux.cfg I am receiving several error messages. 'Missing parameter in config file' and 'Unknown keyword in config file'. Here is a copy of my Isolinux.cfg maybe sombody can help me figure it out: default ks prompt 1 timeout 60 display custom.msg F1 boot.msg F2 options.msg F3 general.msg F4 param.msg F5 rescue.msg F7 custom.msg label linux kernel vmlinuz append initrd=initrd.img lang= devfs=nomount \ ramdisk_size=9216 label text kernel vmlinuz append initrd=initrd.img lang= text devfs=nomount \ ramdisk_size=9216 label expert kernel vmlinuz append expert initrd=initrd.img lang= \ devfs=nomount ramdisk_size=9216 label ks kernel vmlinuz append text ks=cdrom:/ks.cfg initrd=initrd.img \ lang= devfs=nomount ramdisk_size=9216 label nofb kernel vmlinuz append initrd=initrd.img lang= devfs=nomount \ nofb ramdisk_size=9216 label lowres kernel vmlinuz append initrd=initrd.img lang= lowres \ devfs=nomount ramdisk_size=9216 ----- Thanks AR

I fought for quite a while before reading the docs more carefully -- my mistake was trying to call the file something other than ks.cfg Steve Brown sbrown7 at umbc.edu

Could you give the exact output of isolinux? Does it boot any images?> Here is a copy of my Isolinux.cfg maybe sombody can help me figure it out: > > default ks > prompt 1 > timeout 60 > display custom.msg > F1 boot.msg > F2 options.msg > F3 general.msg > F4 param.msg > F5 rescue.msg > F7 custom.msglooks good.> label linux > kernel vmlinuz > append initrd=initrd.img lang= devfs=nomount \ > ramdisk_size=9216Is that 'append'-line really on two lines? Syslinux can't deal with line continuations, so write this in one line, without the backslash. This goes for all other 'label'-sections. You could also look into the kernel output, this should give you the append line from above, with '\' as the last character, missing the 'ramdisk_size=nnn' parameter.

If so, you probably have the ^M characters. Try running dos2unix on it. Also, if you litterally have a \, try making the append lines a single line (no \). Forrest --
