Hi,
I have a 'little' issue with my bootable USB keys...
The following used to work (isolinux 3.11-4):
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdg1 * 1 3 23126 6 FAT16
/dev/sdg2 4 1023 7873380 83 Linux
mkfs.vfat -n BOOT /dev/sdg1
mkfs.ext2 -m 0 -b 4096 -L DATA /dev/sdg2
syslinux -s /dev/sdg1
cd /media/BOOT
cp -rv /mnt/cdrom/isolinux syslinux
mv syslinux/isolinux.cfg syslinux/syslinux.cfg
rm -f syslinux/isolinux.bin
So:
/ldlinux.sys
/syslinux
/syslinux/boot.cat
/syslinux/boot.msg
/syslinux/general.msg
/syslinux/initrd.img
/syslinux/memtest
/syslinux/options.msg
/syslinux/param.msg
/syslinux/rescue.msg
/syslinux/splash.lss
/syslinux/TRANS.TBL
/syslinux/vmlinuz
/syslinux/syslinux.cfg
Configuration:
default myks
timeout 60
...
label myks
kernel vmlinuz
append initrd=initrd.img ks=hd:sda2:/ks.cfg method=hd:sda2:/centos
...
And to be sure:
dd if=/usr/lib/syslinux/mbr.bin of=/dev/sdg
I remade it to upgrade the OS version (but still (isolinux 3.11-4) and it does not boot anymore...
I get to isolinux boot: prompt and it says "could not find kernel image: linux"
I tried to put the syslinux.cfg in / and no better...
I checked msdos filenames and they seem ok.
any idea about what could be wrong?
Thx,
JD
