creating .iso for Centos 6.4-32bit


I downloaded the CentOS-6.4-i386-bin-DVD1.iso and I burned it to a DVD and successfully managed to load the PC.

Next step I mounted the CentOS-6.4-i386-bin-DVD1.iso and copied to a new directory, kickstart. I used the following command to make an .iso file.
mkisofs -o DVD.iso -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -R -J -v -T kickstart/

When I burned the .iso file, I am getting the following message - "The Centos disc was not found in any of your CDROM drivers, Please..."
I used growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/sr0=/home.../DVD.iso to burn the DVD.

My goal is to add my kickstart file but for now even I can not make a proper Centos DVD.
thanks in advance for your help

before you go any farther 6.4 is unsupported and a year + out of date

grab the current minor version in the 6 series
CentOS 6.6
or the current CentOS 7.1
unless this is very old 32 bit hardware there is no reason not to use the 64 bit OS on modern 64 bit hardware
mirror for the 6.6 iso images
http://mirrors.arsc.edu/centos/6.6/isos/


if you burned the iso " as a image" there would BO NO iso to copy

a "data" dvd can not be used to install a os
you have to use " burn image"


please reread the install instructions on the redhat website
( cent uses the redhat docs )
the RHEL 6.6 install guide
https://access.redhat.com/documentat...ide/index.html
for burning a dvd
https://access.redhat.com/documentat...ing-media.html

if on MS windows i have used "CD-burnerXP" for years ( it runs on win7 64 and burns a dvd image just fine- i have used it on win7 )

Regardless of the version the OP is trying to add a kickstart file to the iso image which means it has to be mounted/copied and recreated. When you booted the DVD did you select media check? If so, try skipping this step and hopefully the installation will continue.

I did burn the image. As I said all I am trying to do is to use iso image, mount the image and then again make an iso file. In this process, there is something goes wrong and I am getting an error.

I did skip the media check and still getting the same error.

Ok. Looks like there are some hidden files that are not copied with the cp command that are necessary. look for .treeinfo and .discinfo
