Problem with creating ISO
Hey folks,
I am having a problem making an iso image using mkisofs. I currently have all the files I want to make a RHEL5.2 iso image from in /tmp/RHEL5.2-server-x86_64. There are the typical directories needed for a RHEL distro in here. Cluster ClusterStorage images isolinux Server VT In the isolinux directory I have the following files: boot.cat general.msg isolinux.bin memtest param.msg splash.lss vmlinuz boot.msg initrd.img isolinux.cfg options.msg rescue.msg TRANS.TBL I was able to build an image earlier off of this, only to find that I didnt create a bootable iso :-( and have to start the process over again. I am trying to make a bootable iso of RHEL5.2, and here is the command I am passing, but it is throwing an error: [root@mbushxvirt3 isolinux]# mkisofs -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -allow-lowercase -boot-info-table -b /tmp/RHEL5.2-server-x86_64/isolinux/isolinux.bin -c /tmp/RHEL5.2-server-x86_64/isolinux/boot.cat -o /tmp/RHEL5.2_test.iso /tmp/RHEL5.2-server-x86_64/ Warning: creating filesystem that does not conform to ISO-9660. INFO: UTF-8 character encoding detected by locale settings. Assuming UTF-8 encoded filenames on source filesystem, use -input-charset to override. Unknown file type (unallocated) /tmp/RHEL5.2-server-x86_64/.. - ignoring and continuing. call to search_tree_file with an absolute path, stripping initial path separator. Hope this was intended... mkisofs: Uh oh, I cant find the boot catalog directory '/tmp/RHEL5.2-server-x86_64/isolinux'! Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am running this on a Red Hat 5.1 server with Kernel 2.6.18-53.el5 |
It sounds like there's something wrong with /tmp/RHEL5.2-server-x86_64/. Try running 'stat /tmp/RHEL5.2-server-x86_64/' and posting the output in a [code][/code] block.
EDIT: Wait, [SOLVED]? What solved it? |
