Please try disabling ACPI. See "Is the Linux boot disk actually supposed to work?" at <http://unattended.sourceforge.net/faq.html>. > The 4.3 dos cd is readable, but not bootable. Have tried both Nero > Express and BurnAtOnce, with different brands of CD-R, no change. Does it fail to boot on all systems, or just the PC300's? What message, if any, do you get when you try to boot it? We upgraded ISOLINUX to version 2.10-pre7. This could be a new ISOLINUX bug. If so, I would expect it to fail on some of your systems, not all of them. > The 4.2C dos cd boots, but choosing "undis3c" returns the following: > > "Could not find kernel image: undis3c" > ... although there is indeed an undis3c.imz file on the CD. > ... again tried both Nero and BurnAtOnce with different brands. That is normal. The undis3c driver uses the network card's PXE stack, which is only activated when you boot from the network. Thanks for the feedback!
