mkbootdisk Error
I am trying to make a bootable cd for an updated version of the kernel (2.6.10-1.12) on a machine running Fedora Core 2. This machine dual boots with Win XP and I have never been able to get dual boot to work on it. So I use a bootable CD for Linux and allow the ntloader to just do its thing for Win XP.
But, when I try to use mkbootdisk to create the iso image for the new bootable cd I always get an error. Command and typical output looks like this: Code:
mkbootdisk --iso --verbose --device bootcd.iso 2.6.10-1.9_FC2 For some reason I do not understand, I now always get the error shown above when making the bootable iso image. Indeed no file is being written into the /tmp directory. The first time that I ran the command I did an ls /tmp and saw files with similar names but different hash characters after the dot. I probably should have done an ls -l after that and looked at the creation dates, but being root, I deleted all the files in /tmp that I could (that included all of the mkbootdisk.* files), and reran the command. No new Mkbootdisk.* files showed up in the /tmp directory. The problem is not permissions on the /tmp directory, Code:
ls: ls: No such file or directory Nor is the problem a full /tmp partition, as evidenced by the df command, Code:
df /tmp |
