I hope this is the right place for posting such a question: - I´ve tried MANY times (5) burning an PA-RISC image to a bootable CD. Couldn´t make my system boot from the CD though...the image I´m talking about is this one: http://pateam.esiee.fr/cd-images/palinux-0.9.3.iso I have a 712/60 HP station, with an external SCSI CD-rom drive. The drive is at ID "scsi.3.0". I do the boot search after the POST routine, it finds my SCSI drive, its brand and everything else. When I try to boot from the CD the station simply does nothing. It tryes to boot and returns to the BOOT_ADMIN screen. ONCE I could get a message like "loading the stuff, etc....OPS, KERNEL something". And only ONCE...in one of the first CDs. I did an extensive search on the Internet regarding this subject, and used all hints found for the burning software (yes, I´m burning on XP, unfortunately all linuxes I´ve found doens´t have CD writers)...used Nero 5.5, CDRWin 4.0B and Blindwrite. None of them seem to burn this image correctly. And I say that with the knowledge after burning many, many applications, games, etc onto CD-R. Protected or not. For AIX, for Windows, for Solaris. Weird... The simptoms are: - If I load the CD on a windows machine, everything seems to be fine, DESPITE all filenames being in CAPS... (bad sign?) - On the 712/60 it won´t boot. - After booting into HP-UX, if I try to mount the CD it takes a looong time and then the OS finally mounts it, but all filenames are capitalised AND SOMETIMES, the ";1" suffix is appended to every filename. I´ve seen something about that on Nero, but on tabs that you simply cannot change. (something like "doesn´t append ;1 on...") - I contacted a friend and co-worker which is a "Linux" guy, but he wasn´t willing to help much.. - Things that I´ve read on the net like "Search the iso or the CD for the #8000 sector and see if the MAGIC word is on there (CD001) and IT IS in all Cds I´ve searched. I am REALLY interested in putting this thing to run up on my HP station....but I´m having a hard time... Maybe someone could give some help? Thanks for now. [ ]s, Jeffo - Brazil.
