DNAlinux does not boot

tjaart · 11-11-2004, 03:36 AM

Hi

I wrote a copy of DNAlinux 0.40 and it does not want to boot from the CD? I ahve set my machine to boot from CD first. Does it matter if I wrote it as a multisession CD? Or do I need to write it as a no-session CD?

Thanks!!

You should check the MD5 and also record it in a blank CD, it could be the first session and then leave the CD open if you want. But not the 2nd or more. Also should be CD-R, in my CD-RW didn't work.

hmm, I used some walmart memorex cd-rw's with .38 and it booted fine, and I put .40 over that, and it booted fine on all but my machine with the ext3 partition.

As I told you in another post, I will test it with EXT3. But, just for curiosity, did you try using Knoppix? (I ask that to troubleshoot your problem). Just to see if this is a problem from this distro only.

I was actually commenting on that.. it worked just fine on a cdrw in most of my machines. And ya, i've tried knoopix before and it worked just fine with the same layout. Weirdness
