[syslinux] image checksum error boot failed press any key
well this is a little bet more info about my error. i compiled a kernel with some patches for mppe encryption. for some reason i get the error above. i tried a few things but nothing works. my kernel is 1.4mb compressed. the original kernel is 1.1 i posted the iso on my website maybe someone can take a look to it. www.wittyadmin.com/slackmin.iso i did not modify the original initrd.gz on the cd. i notice that the modules in my kernel are .o format and in the cd they are in .o.gz but i doubt that this is the problem. because i dont even get to booting the kernel. i deleted the isolinux.boot from the cd because i read somewhere that it is not necesary. i tried increasing the ramdisk size from 7777 to 15000 and the result is the computer reboots and i am unable to read the line that is displayed because it reboots too fast. if i put the slax cd and wait for the boot prompt and the put my cd everything works. i also tried looking at the isolinux.asm but i can figure out the code. this is the isolinux.cfg display splash default slax prompt 1 timeout 20 label slax kernel vmlinuz append max_loop=255 initrd=initrd.gz init=linuxrc livecd_subdir=/ load_ramdisk=1 prompt_ramdisk=0 ramdisk_size=7777 root=/dev/ram0 rw remains the same from the cd, and this are some lines of the isolinux.asm maybe someone can tell me what this means ; Verify the checksum on the loaded image. verify_image: mov si,7C00h+2048 mov bx,es mov ecx,[ImageDwords] mov edi,[FirstSecSum] ; First sector checksum .loop es lodsd add edi,eax dec ecx jz .done and si,si jnz .loop ; SI wrapped around, advance ES add bx,1000h mov es,bx jmp short .loop .done: mov ax,ds mov es,ax cmp [bi_csum],edi je integrity_ok mov si,checkerr_msg -> my error any tips on what should i do. thanks?

i solve the problem the mkisofs command had some wrong arguments, i looke at the slax cd and i used the parameters specified in a texfile in the root directory, i thing i had another catalog too, i am using cdrecord for windows and the gui hides to much gingle berries
