Hi,
I've run into this before, but got around it by booting
with a cdrom.img boot floopy. This time, however, the system (HP
Pavillion zt1170 notebook) doesn't have a floppy drive. The CD
boots, but the kernel fails to find the initrd image (all.rdz?)
The command I used to generate the CDROMS:
mkcd --discsize 734000000 --isodir /iso --catto /iso/mkcd.log --auto /mnt/cooker/i586
I burned them to CDR using xcdroast (Version: 0.98alpha9) CDRs
are Generic (PNY) 700 MB units, CDRW drive is AOPEN CRW-1232,
Kernel for system used to generate CDRs: 2.4.18-6mdkenterprise
The CD fails to start in the same way on multiple systems, both
mobile and sedentary, but, on systems with a floppy, seems to
work just fine when booted from the cdrom.img floppy. My local
mirror is up to date as of about 1830 GMT.
If this is an issue that has been discussed, I'm very sorry,
but I wasn't able to find reference to it in the list archives (neither
expert nor cooker) Is it just me, or is it a problem with the CDs I
generated?
