Hello,

I try do build a bootable CD-ROM with ISOLINUX, but i fail with initrd
Here is what i have done :

The root is /home/CDInstall
I have creat /home/CDInstall/isolinux
In /home/CDInstall/isolinx i have put :

boot.msg
initrd.img
isolinux.bin
isolinux.cfg
vmlinuz

isolinux.cfg is there :
default linux
prompt 1
display boot.msg
timeout 100
label linux
	kernel vmlinuz
	append initrd=initrd.img root=/dev/hda7

I create de iso file with :
mkisofs -R -o /CDInstall.iso -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c
isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table
/home/CDInstall

I brun it with NERO

When i try to start with the CD, initrd isn't loaded and it stop at loading
kernel ....

It is puzzeling because i try to boot on a floppy with this files and
(ldlinux.sys  + syslinux.cfg)

What goes wrong ?
Does some one has an idea ?

Thanks
