Howdy to all,
We've been using isolinux quite successfully for quite some time now,
and I have come across a couple of laptops where isolinux balks at my
config file..
Upon booting on this systems, the image background appears corrupted,
and at the boot prompt, the following happens automatically.
Unknown keyword in config file.
Could not find kernel image: 1
boot:
Any label input here fails, with "Could not find kernel image".
If I replace the config file with a simpler one, with one option only
and no image background, it works perfectly.
I have included the config file below, apologies if anybody is on a slow
link.. (these lines may wrap depending on your client, as some are > 80
characters).
I tend to think this is a BIOS issue with these particular machines
(Toshiba TE2300, Intel 855GM Chipset) not reading the entire config
file. This file works on pretty much every other system I have ever
worked with, and fails on this particular system with every version of
syslinux I have tried since we began using it, which was quite a long
time ago (2003ish?). If anybody would like to check my config file for
obvious errors, or has experienced this it would be greatly
appreciated..
Kind Regards
Daniel Rose
