Subject: Unable to boot a raw kernel image :??
Date: Fri, 29 Nov 2002 14:21:26 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20021129132126.GA102@DervishD> (raw)
Hi all :))
A time ago I was able to generate bootable Linux CD's just by
dd'ing a floppy containing a raw kernel image:
dd if=/dev/fd0 of=eltorito
After that, mkisofsing, toasting and booting. But now, depending
on the machine, I have 'invalid compressed format' errors, or even
ye olde register dump when the image was damaged :(
Booting directly from the floppy works, but booting with that
same image from a CD does not :(( I now I can use LILO, or better
yet, Syslinux or isolinux, but I'm just curious why I cannot boot raw
image-based CD's anymore.
Anyone knows what's happenning here?
Raúl
