If I compare the ISO images I see following difference: working 10.0 RC4 is 67137536 bytes and isoinfo -d -i reports: Logical block size is: 2048 Volume size is: 32782 El Torito VD version 1 found, boot catalog is in sector 46 The not working SLES-10-i386-Preview4.iso is only 38868992 bytes but reports: Logical block size is: 2048 Volume size is: 2204449 El Torito VD version 1 found, boot catalog is in sector 458 Sorry, forget comment #1, I take the wrong image (SLES-10-i386-Preview4.iso) for the isoinfo -d -i output, the isoinfo -d -i output of the not working looks OK. What do you mean? The BIOS doesn't see it as bootable? Or it starts and gets stuck? I don't see any problems. It doesn't detect it as bootable. If I disable HDD boot on one of the affected machines, it display "DISK BOOT FAILURE,INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER". I did some more tests and found out that here are machines which boot from this disk (eg. my laptop and a second P4 system), but 3 other machines does not, the affected machines are very different (AMD K6/400 with PATA CDROM, AMD Athlon with PATA DVD, Intel P4 with PATA DVD). I verified that the DISK is readable without any error on all these systems, if I boot via a other boot source. > machines, it display "DISK BOOT FAILURE,INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER".
Does it display the very same message if you don't have any CD-ROM in the drive?
Yes. Where did you get the iso from? And you are *absolutely* sure it is not a broken CD? Created attachment 63971 [details]
test iso
Does the attached iso work?
Yes this ISO works. And yes I'm sure that the CDs are OK, I did a dd bs=2048 if=/dev/hdc of=verify on the none booting machines and then compared verify with the original ISO. Ok, then you have a broken CD. Sorry, but what means broken CD ? You can run checkmedia to see if your iso is ok. If that's ok, I suspect a badly burned CD. Ok, then the result of all this is: the boot catalog must not be at sector 0x2f. *** Bug 144653 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
