Has anyone noticed that the usb_cdrom.img is missing from images?

If you read the Install.txt it should be there as in previous versions to make a boot disk for those of us whom are forced to use a usb_cdrom boot floppy in order to boot the CD.

I have a laptop running MDK 9.2 and thats how I did it. I tried that boot floppy but it fails of course because of the different kernel versions.

If anyone could help it would be really appreciated. Either where I may could find such and image for 10official or a work around.

Maybe you could try the mdk9.2 usb_cdrom.img, it will most likely work for mdk10 version.

I tried that but the kernel version is different therefore it fails. I know there must be a way around it I am just stumped.

Shaggz,

I just got Mandrake 10 Community Edition and on the first disc under images directory, there is a cdrom.img but then there is another directory under that saying Alternatives. I went in there and there is another cdrom image but it has a really long name like....

cdrom.img-2.4.25-2mdkBOOT

See if you have that file under about the same directory and at least look for the file that starts like that and that may help you to at least get on your way to correcting your usb cdrom prob.

Take care,

Well I've tried that again with no luck. I even tried (probably stupidly) to use both cdrom.img and /alt*/cdromxx.img on the 10 cd then replace the cdrom.rdz with my 9.2 hdcdrom.rdz with no luck.


If anyone has any other ideas please let me know. I've now noticed alot of posts on google from other people having the same problem.

I'm in the same boat. I can't even locate the install modules to create my own floppy like it says in the readme for the images.

Must admit, i downloaded the raw tree and tried to make iso's out of them and ran into all sorts of dramas.

Hi shaggz,
I searched the net and got this link : http://ftp.u-strasbg.fr/linux/distri....4.25-2mdkBOOT.
I failed to open that link, but may be you can.
Hope this helps.
