[syslinux] isolinux: Disk error 20, AX=425 c, drive EF
Hello SYSLINUX, I have been searching for a resource for the "Disk error" messages coming out of isolinux. I am seeing the message "isolinux: Disk error 20, AX=425 c, drive EF" on many occasions where a combination of questionable Linux OS media comes in contact with touchy LITE-ON DVD/RW Drives attempting to load Red Hat Linux. We know that changing the Drive or the media solves the problem, but the drive and the media works in other workstations. I am an engineer working for the National Weather Service, and this is an issue that can potentially affect the workstations that Meteorologist use to view weather images on. I would be glad to share more information about this with you if you like. I very much appreciate any guidance you can provide. Thanks, Bill Carroll National Weather Service Radar Operations Center 405 573 3314
