Cannot boot isolinux, invalid or corrupt kenel image
 
Hi Everyone,

I have been through google and can not find any solution that will help me. So i have to try my last solution here, i hope someone expertise can help me out this trouble.

At the moment i have created a boot disk image, disk contain number of file, i have list them below just to let everyone know what file contained

TRANS.tbl
/isolinux/
  • boot.cat
  • boot.msg
  • initrd.img
  • isolinux.bin
  • isolinux.cfg
  • TRANS.TBL
  • vmlinuz

the following error:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Boot form cd:
isolinux 3.11 2005-09-02 copyright (c) 1994-2005 H. Peter Anvin
Press <return> (or wait 10 seconds) to boot your Centos system from
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00. You may override the default linux Kernel Parameters by typing "linux <params>", follow by <return> if you like

boot:

invalid or corrupt kernel image
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Please someone advise me what to do, i'm appreciated

Thanks, Regards,

Steven

Where did you get vmlinuz?

If you got it from a /boot directory, did you check to see that it is a compressed kernel image, and not just a symlink to a kernel image?

try to boot with a xp cd. then after quick formatting, exit and start with your linux cd/dvd

I create this isolinux cd by issue the command
[mkbootdisk]
like you say, i am trying to boot from cd, but use kernel image in the system.

the cd only contain 4.9MB of total file.

according to /etc/fstab/

that i have to boot from one of the image in the system.
but that doesn't seen to work for me.

any idea?

Thanks
Steven
