Re: 4.9 install CD won't boot on Toshiba Tecra 8000

2003-12-03 Thread Anon Nimus
Chris,

You hit the problem right on the head! I tried 5.2Beta and it works! Thanks for your 
help.

I wonder if it's possible to get the 4.9 ISOs in same format as the 5.x ISO format...

 This is a guess, but it's possible that your Tecra doesn't support
 Emulated El Torito CD booting, which is what 4.x uses.

 If it's not a production server, you could try 5.1 (or 5.2 BETA,) whose
 ISO images apparently use Non-Emulated El Torito booting.

In case it helps, I've pasted the dmesg output from
Linux on the Tecra.
