cannot boot from CD
Hi all,
I've installed a new ATAPI CDROM under Red-Hat 7.3 as secondary master drive. The device is detected fine as hdc. I've linked hdc and cdrom (ln -s /dev/hdc /dev/cdrom)
and added to /etc/fstab the following line:
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0
I can play audio and read data from CDs, however I cannot boot from it; in particular
I have tried from a couple of installation CDs for different releases of Red-Hat Enterprise which have worked in other machines. I can even read these CDs, but not boot from them. The BIOS has the cdrom listed in the boot sequence. At this point I am wondering if the problem maybe unrelated to the the CDROM, but to some trouble to execute the Red-Hat installation script.
Any hints will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
