Have you tried using the mkisofs command line Jotnar suggested to me back then? It worked fine for me, you can find it back there, anyway just in case this would be it: mkisofs -J -joliet-long -no-iso-translate -N -V mb12 -b boot/isolinux/isolinux.bin -iso-level 4 -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -o mb12.iso \mb Would like to know if this does the trick for you.... midz

Jet, you were right I was using the same layout for slax6 as for slax5 and as you know it didn't work. I tried doing it your way with the boot and slax dir under a slax6 dir and it worked with: from=/slax6 What did you mean by 'from=' changed a little bit? Here's the interesting part, BT3 works with the usual layout, boot and data dirs split, BUT using Jotnar's mkisofs command line (Jotnar, can you expand on why this works...), I'm guessing this has something to do with the file system since my initial one used rock ridge while the new one uses joliet? Funny though i expected BT3 to behave like Slax6, guess i was wrong. Thanks, midz

this is the mkisofs command line i'm using mkisofs -N -V mb12 -b boot/isolinux/isolinux.bin -d -iso-level 4 -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -o mb12.iso \mb

Yeah, my bad, i missed the from= parameter i was using on slax BUT no good it still doesn't find it's data directory as discribed in my earlier post, i can't understand why because slax works and the config lines for slax and bt3 are essentially identical as you can see... LABEL slax MENU LABEL ^7 Slax 5 KERNEL /boot/slax/vmlinuz APPEND vga=769 max_loop=255 initrd=/boot/slax/initrd.gz from=/slax init=linuxrc load_ramdisk=1 prompt_ramdisk=0 ramdisk_size=4444 root=/dev/ram0 rw nopcmcia ----------- LABEL bt3 MENU LABEL ^8 BackTrack 3 KERNEL /boot/bt3/vmlinuz APPEND vga=0x317 max_loop=255 initrd=/boot/bt3/initrd.gz from=/bt3 init=linuxrc load_ramdisk=1 prompt_ramdisk=0 ramdisk_size=6666 root=/dev/ram0 rw autoexec=kdm Also livecd.sgn is in the bt3 folder. Am i missing something? Thanks, midz

i'm having a problem and i can't seem to solve it, hopping someone can help. i'm trying to integrate Backtrack3 (or 2 - it has the same issues) into a multiboot dvd based on jets initial post, bt3 boots fine until *looking for data directory Fatal error occurred - BT3 data not found. You are maybe using an unsupported boot device (eg. SCSI or old PCMCIA) ... i have no ideea why this is happening since bt is based on slax and slax works perfectly in this setup. dvd directory structure is: \dvd\ boot\ bt3\ dsl\ isolinux\ slax\ sysresccd\ bt3\ dsl\ i386\ slax\ sysresccd\ bootsect.bin WIN51IP WIN51IP.SP2 i386 is bartPE, config file snippet for bt3: LABEL bt3 MENU LABEL Backtrack KERNEL /boot/bt3/vmlinuz APPEND vga=0x317 initrd=/boot/bt3/initrd.gz ramdisk_size=6666 root=/dev/ram0 rw autoexec=kdm testing done in vmware - virtual cdrom device using ide interface i have to admit my isolinux skills don't go higher than begginer level so i'm running out of ideeas, googled it and what i found didn't help me, please help... midz
