[syslinux] Iso-linux boot fails on SCSI CD-ROMs?

[Simon de Hartog]

Hi all,

I'm currently using Gentoo Linux. It's boot CD uses isolinux. When I 
boot it, it gives me a nice LILO like prompt, but trying to start any 
image fails. Loading of the image and initrd loading works though. Even 
booting a memtest image fails. I get the following text during boot:

ISOLINUX 2.02 2003-02-13 isolinux: Loading spec packet failed, trying to 
wing it...
isolinux: Found something at drive = F0
isolinux: Looks like it might be right, continuing...

Any idea? When trying to start an image, it just gives a blank screen 
with a blinking cursor, no response except to Crtl-Alt-Delete. I have a 
SCSI-only system, with my boot CD-ROM being a DVD drive at SCSI ID 0. A 
friend of mine has the exact same SCSI-controller (Diamond FirePort), 
but the same CD does work fine on his system.

Thanks in advance,

Simon de Hartog
