I have a generic laptop with Toshiba DVD. The install program will not boot from the CD. I made a floppy (using dd). After the program loads from the floppy, the installation program cannot find the Mandrake installation disk (i.e. the install program cannot find the DVD-CDROM). The media works on other machines so this is a laptop issue only.
The install program correctly identifies the CD reader. The message dialog says: "I can't access a Mandrake Linux installation disk in your CDROM drive (TOSHIBA DVD-ROM SD-2302). Retry?" Selecting "yes" produces an infinite loop showing the dialog. Selecting "no" brings up a dialog asking which SCSI driver to load. Selecting "back" brings up the same SCSI dialog. This machine has not had this problem with any previous MD install. Additionally, this machine is having the same problem with the current RH beta. I have read both MD and RH have switched to isolinux and I wonder if that is the reason? Please advise if further information is needed to squash this bug. Chuck Davis
