I guess u have used floppy disk as boot device so problem is, that diskette capacity(1.44MB) is not enought for boot stuff (kernel + initrd + ...), but mkbootdisk try copy all this stuff to diskette. So it's not surprise that boot process fails with using this device. I suggest: - create new small kernel, and use mkbootdisk with this kernel or - use device with bigger capacity(ZIP, ...) or - place only bootloader to diskette |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031114 Description of problem: During install when given chance to create a boot disk the system goes about creating a boot disk but when you try to boot with that disk you get BOOT FAILED. When the system has booted up and you try to create mkbootdisk the computer again looks like it is creating the boot disk but you get the same error message when you try to use that disk. I had the same problem in RedHat 9 and never did get a Bootdisk created. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl and 2.4.22-1.2129.nptl How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.install FedoraCore and select make boot disk 2. 3. Actual Results: Computer makes disk that won't boot system Expected Results: Boot disk should have booted program Additional info:
