Hehe ist works too thumbup.gif

in isolinux.cfg:

kernel /BOOT/grub/grub.exe --config-file="kernel (cd)/platform/i86pc/kernel/unix;module=(cd)/BOOT/x86.microroot;boot"

and solaris boots like a charm.

@Phylum

Just in case it's your mkisofs commands this is my simple mkisofs script.

This script is located in boot/isolinux along with mkisofs. If your using Windows just grab the commands lower down the script.

CODE
#!/bin/bash

# Script to create a bootable ISO image

cd -- "$(dirname "$0")"

SOURCE=$(cd ../; pwd)
APPID="Bootdisk"
VOLID="Bootdisk"
BOOT=boot/isolinux/isolinux.bin
CATALOG=boot/isolinux/boot.cat
OUTPUT=$HOME/Bootdisk.iso

help() {
  echo "
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  This script creates a bootable ISO image using mkisofs.
  
  Usage: $(basename "$0") [options]
  
  Example: $(basename "$0") -o $OUTPUT --md5
    
  -o, --output <file>             Set output file name
  -m, --md5                       Create MD5 check file
  -h, --help                      Help
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  "
}

waiting() {
  chars=( "|" "/" "-" "\\" )
  array=${#chars[*]}
  count=0
  echo -n "  "
  while [ -e "$1" ]; do
    count=$(( count + 1 ))
    echo -ne "\b${chars[$(( count % array ))]}"; sleep 0.2
  done
}

while [ "$1" != "" ]; do
  case $1 in
    -h | --help )
      help
      exit
     ;;
    -o | --output )
      OUTPUT="$2"
      shift 2
     ;;
    -m | --md5 )
      MD5="1"
      shift
     ;;
    * )
      shift
  esac
done

if [ -f "$OUTPUT" ]; then
  echo "$(basename $0): \`$OUTPUT' already exists"
  echo -n "Remove this file and continue? [Y/n]: "
  read retval
  case $retval in
    Y|y|[Yy][Ee][Ss])
      rm -f $OUTPUT || exit 1
     ;;
    *)    
      help
      exit 1
  esac
fi

rm -f $SOURCE/contents.md5
if [ "$MD5" = "1" ]; then
  
  if [ -x `type -path mktemp` ]; then                                          
    md5tmp="`mktemp`"
  else
    md5tmp="/tmp/md5.$RANDOM"
    touch $md5tmp || exit 1
    chmod 600 $md5tmp
  fi
  
  echo -n "Creating MD5 check file. Please wait..."
  waiting $md5tmp &
  
  ( cd $SOURCE
    find . -type f -exec md5sum {} \; | sort -k 2,2 > $md5tmp
    mv $md5tmp contents.md5
  )
  
  echo -e "\bDone"
fi

if [ ! -x "`type -path mkisofs`" ]; then
  echo "$(basename $0): \`mkisofs' command not found"
  exit 1
fi

mkisofs \
-iso-level 4 \
-full-iso9660-filenames \
-disable-deep-relocation \
-rock \
-joliet \
-joliet-long \
-no-emul-boot \
-boot-info-table \
-boot-load-size 4 \
-appid "$APPID" \
-volid "$VOLID" \
-eltorito-boot $BOOT \
-eltorito-catalog $CATALOG \
-output $OUTPUT \
$SOURCE || exit 1

echo "$(basename $0): \`$OUTPUT' succesfully created"

exit 0


One more thing...

You can use the file util in Linux to query a file type, I'm not sure but you might find a Windows port as part of cygwin.
First decompress the image (gzip -d initrd.gz) then test the file.

CODE
$ file initrd
initrd: ASCII cpio archive (SVR4 with no CRC)

Can't help as I've made virtually all of my discs using UltraISO and have occasionally used the Optimization feature successfully. If it [Optimization] doesn't work, sometimes you have to re-organize the contents of a disc, to move some content from one disc to another or use a bigger (DL) disc and turn off Optimzation....Jet

As an aside, syslinux now includes the Hardware Detection Tool, a module created just for the job of retrieveing hardware information.

Well, hello, world!

I followed this howto and I did my isolinux multiboot with linux, xp and win2000... I thought I would have no problem in booting a winbuilder LiveXP, but I was wrong... I couldnt find any bootsect.bin and i think isolinux cannot boot SETUPLDR.BIN

I knew I had to create an image that boot setupldr.bin & bootfix.bin in the i386 dir, and I did with bbie: I have no problem in booting if i copy the LiveXP "\" in my multiboot "\"...
...but, as you can guess, it means I can integrate just one LiveXP for dvd... Yeah, one LiveXP per dvd is enough biggrin.gif but I just would like not to have such a messy iso

I think the problem is redirecting the entire process from "\i386" folder to "\Livexp\i386"... I've tried modifying txtsetup, but i think i have to modify setupldr or doing something similar to the xp installer... and it's over my skills...

Anyway, I realize I'm trying like a blind in a open space blink.gif
so, please: help! (like the beatles used to say) whistling.gif

Hello! I tried to follow the how-to and at step 3 it says "From \syslinux, *COPY* (don't *MOVE*) vesamenu.c32, chain.c32, isolinux.bin, memdisk to boot\isolinux\.". The problem is that I don't see memdisk in the huge source of syslinux. Here is a screenshot.

isn't it where it should be? unsure.gif
I.e. in this file:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot...slinux-3.82.zip
in the "memdisk" directory, as a file 19.584 bytes in size, called "memdisk" (with no extension)

Oh, yes thanks. I wasn't carefull when extracted the archive ... And I thought it was in the root folder ... sorry. But at "4) Open the System Rescue ISO and copy vmlinuz1 and vmlinuz.igz to boot\sysdresccd\. Copy sysrescd.dat to sysresccd\. Copy memtest86 to boot\isolinux\." in my sysrescuecd-x86-1.2.1.iso I have in NTPASSWD folder the files "initrd.cgz"; "vmlinuz." and scsi.cgz" not vmlinuz1 and vmlinuz.igz. The only *.igz file is INITRAM.IGZ .

Unless jetman's crystal ball (unlike mine newwink.gif) works very, very well, I wonder how he could, in 2007, have foreseen that on May 12th, 2009 unsure.gif:
http://www.sysresccd.org/news/2009/05/12/s...d-120-released/
a new version would have been released, that it would have been a "major release" and that probably the booting files have been changed names....whistling.gif

From here:
http://www.sysresccd.org/Sysresccd-manual-...your_own_kernel

it seems like the new files are vmlinuz and initram.gz
CODE
label mykernel
  kernel vmlinuz
  append initrd=initram.igz
label mykernelfr
  kernel vmlinuz
  append initrd=initram.igz setkmap=fr


The files in NTPASSWD, I guess are related to NTPASSWD aka chntpw aka Offline NT Password Editor rolleyes.gif :

Oh, thanks again. I will try eventually to finish this multiboot dvd. And about jetman's crystall ball, thumbup.gif , I thought he updated the tutorial since then. And the last question that I need answered to finish this dvd: How I insert other iso's that are not in tutorial , in example Windows XP, Acronis True Image, WinPE, Arch linux, how I make a menu and when I select an option (category) to appear another menu and when I select the "program" to start and boot that kernel.
At windows, it should work with ntdr, at linux it should be simple but how about the others like Acronis ?
Thanks again very much and goodbye! welcome.gif

Windows and PE 1.x WON'T work unless you use a RAMDISK approach (from .iso) PE 1.x will work with "usual" "\I386" structure, Windows install will work as well from "\I386", so i fyou have both you will need to rename one of the two and hexedit correspondingly files, there is no way if not "Hard disk emulation" to run "Full XP" from CD-ROM (not usable in a mult-boot, AFAIK):
http://www.boot-land.net/forums/?showtopic=3890

For all the rest you may want to search around, and test the newish Syslinux ISO mapping features.

Start from grub4dos:
http://www.boot-land.net/forums/index.php?showforum=66

and see if what works with it:
http://www.boot-land.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=5041

also works with Syslinux:
http://www.boot-land.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=8258

in any case in the forum there are grub4dos examples and "translations" from grub4dos to Syslinux syntax, so that you can use them the other way round.

Hi all
i want to create a multiboot dvd with UBUNTU, KUBUNTU, XUBUNTU and some other distro and so i read all the tutorials and tried to do it by myself.
I decided to start with only ubuntu and see if i can do it, and later add all the other distro.

I create these directories

LINUX
|
|-------boot
| |-----isolinux
| |-----ubuntu (inside initrd.gz e vmlinuz)
|
|--------ubuntu (with all the distro contents)


Here myisolinux.cfg

DEFAULT menu.c32
TIMEOUT 0
PROMPT 0
menu title Welcome to GNU/Linux!
label local
menu label Boot from ^hard drive
kernel chain.c32
append hd0
label ubuntu-live-install
menu label ^Install Ubuntu
kernel /boot/ubuntu/vmlinuz
append file=/cdrom/ubuntu/preseed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper only-ubiquity initrd=/boot/ubuntu/initrd.gz quiet splash --

I also modified casper inside scripts di initrd (and copiet into boot/ubuntu e ubuntu/casper) changing $Path/casper, and $Directory/casper to $Path/ubuntu/casper and so on. can't find $mountpoint and change /.disk/casper to /ubuntu/.disk/casper

When i select ubuntu i got the logo of ubuntu and seems to load but then it says:

/init: /scripts/casper: line 1: #/bin/sh: not found ... itried to change it to #1/ubuntu/bin/sh

Anyone can help me? I really need to create this DVD.

Thank you

Heres a much easier and faster way to boot your Windows XP.
