Slack 11 Cdrom boot issue

Peterjs · 10-24-2006, 05:29 AM

Hey there

I have just downloaded slack 11 to install on my laptop. When i try to boot from disc 1 it gives a message like, CDrom boot: No emulation boot and nothing happens but a restart. The cdrom is bootable on my desktop pc with no problems at all. I have slack 10.2 on the laptop atm which i installed from DL'ed isos as well so...

Anybody heard or tried something like this and have some info to share?

Try if the old 10.2 cd's still boot?
It could be HW issue: the CD ma be ready to retire?

I reinstalled slackware 10.2 about 6 days ago after a while of not using the laptop so it should work fine, but will check when I'm home from work ;-)

if the old 10.2 works, then just upgrade it against the new cd-s.
the howto is on the 1st cd ;-)
I did upgrate couple of times against a nfs export and a local partition, and all did well...
tell how you did once you thru...
