Description Chris Lumens 2006-06-01 17:57:39 UTC
Description of problem:
When running our scripts in anaconda to make a boot CD image, mkisofs generates
lots of error output and the resulting image is only a couple hundred k, instead
of several megs in size.  The output is as follows:

mkisofs: Value too large for defined data type. File /mnt/redhat/nightly/rawhide
-20060601/i386-global/images/isopath/isolinux/isolinux.bin is too large - ignori

mkisofs: Uh oh, I cant find the boot image 'isolinux/isolinux.bin' !

We are invoking mkisofs as follows:

mkisofs -quiet -o $TOPDESTPATH/images/boot.iso -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c
isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -R -J -V
"$PRODUCT" -T $TOPDESTPATH/images/isopat


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.01.01.0.a09-1

How reproducible:
Always.

Comment 1 Harald Hoyer 2006-06-02 07:18:31 UTC

Comment 2 Harald Hoyer 2006-06-02 10:30:17 UTC
