| |
Hi all :))
A time ago I was able to generate bootable Linux CD's just by dd'ing a floppy containing a raw kernel image:
dd if=/dev/fd0 of=eltorito
After that, mkisofsing, toasting and booting. But now, depending on the machine, I have 'invalid compressed format' errors, or even ye olde register dump when the image was damaged :(
Booting directly from the floppy works, but booting with that same image from a CD does not :(( I now I can use LILO, or better yet, Syslinux or isolinux, but I'm just curious why I cannot boot raw image-based CD's anymore.
Anyone knows what's happenning here? Raúl - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
