Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 10591
Bug! Urgent! The zoot-i386.iso made bootable CD can not boot!

Hi: I have used RedHat6.1 for several months. I downloaded the zoot-i386.iso and made a bootable CD of RedHat 6.2 last week. The RedHat6.2 CD can not boot on my PC this time, though the old RedHat6.1 CD which I made several months ago can boot smoothly on my PC all the same. I tried several times and the result was the same one. When the RedHat6.2 was booting, it gave one line of message: 1. FD 1.44MB System Type-(00) Then it seemed that the RedHat6.2 CD tried to read something from the floppy disk A:. After one minute or so the CDROM failed to boot up and the harddisk booted up. My PC's configurations are: CPU AMD K6-2 450MHz Maiinboard ASUS P5A Rev.1006 BIOS AMI 4.51PG 1994-1998 CDROM ASUS CD-S400/A HardDisk IBM 10GB RAM 128MB Then I tried to use the same RedHat6.2 CD on a Dell Optiplex GX100 PC (Celeron 400MHz, 128Mb RAM, 3.2GB HardDisk) and the RedHat6.2 CD booted smoothly on the Dell PC. So it might show that the zoot-i386.iso file should have some important errors in the booting section and device-seeking section. Regards, Tang mailto: tang@stonegate.co.jp 2000/04/05
If you try a different CDROM drive in your system does it boot properly?
The ISO image we put up is indeed bootable, so there was either a problem with the image that you downloaded (I would suggest checking the md5sum to make sure that the file is corrupt) or there is a problem with the method that you used to make the CDROM. What method are you using to create the CDROM?
Closing bug due to lack of activity.
