You need to make a boot disk with the boot.img file in the /images directory of the cdrom. Boot off that floppy and then select CDROM as the installation media. Please reopen this bug if this doesn't fix the problem. No, the problem is not in the booting image as the system boots correctly, but in the access to the CDROM. I have tried both ways - booting from diskette, and booting from CDROM - it boots, but doesn't load from CDROM. Are you sure that there's nothing wrong with the cd? 7.1 used a 2.88MB boot image, and some motherboards were not able to see the second stage installer on the cd if you booted off the cd. Booting with a floppy avoids this problem, but if you still can't see the cdrom, I don't know what the problem is. Well, I think that everything is OK with the CD.. You can read from it in 7.0, you can read from it in 7.1 once installed, you can create ISO from it... One idea: is there some kind of FS support for ISO (like Joliet extension, or something like that) that is not built into the kernel on the diskette image, but is built into the standard kernel? I am asking this because I wasn't able to burn the CD straight from the ISO (Nero Burner doesn't have this option), but had to extract the ISOs, and then burn them as files on the CDROM. I have enabled Joliet extension to allow for long filenames. Apart from this, I have no other idea... Perhaps some sort of copyright protection you have built into CD ISO image? No no no, there is no copyright protection built in to the ISO images. The cd's are not going to work if you extract the files and simply burn them to the cd. I am surprised that the cd even boots at all. You need to find a different cd burning application that will let you burn an iso to the cdrom, and then things will work. This is not an installer bug...the cd's were burned incorrectly. |
