Isolinux, Boot fail, CD-ROM not found

andyoye · 04-14-2004, 02:37 PM

am trying to install Fedora C1 from bootable CDs. I am gettin

**isolinux: Loading spec packet failed, trying to
wing it
...
isolinux: Failed to locate CD-ROM device; boot failed.**

My system do detect CD-Rom

Is there any solution to this problem?

Boot floppies, isolinux is the package that allows the front end of the cd to be bootable, works about 95% of the time, if not more... welcome to that 5%

On a different machine check for a directory called /boot on the cdrom or /floppy, 1.44-images maybe, it'll be pretty obvious, included will be a copy of the windows program RAWRITE so you can write them correctly.
