Basically, the computer's CD drive is not working properly so it will fail to load the image from the disc half way through, with errors. I also can't boot from a USB stick, since this is a MacBook.</div><div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt; "><br></div><div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt; ">So my question: is there any way to use the CD to load the kernel and initrd with isolinux, but then load the system image from the USB drive?</div><div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt; "><br></div><div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt; ">Looking at the configuration options in isoloader, I see the following line:</div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Tahoma"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">vmlinuz0 initrd=initrd0.img root=live:CDLABEL=Fedora-15-Nightly-20110403.17-i6 rootfstype=auto ro liveimg quiet rhgb rd.luks=0 rd.md=0 rd.dm=0 </span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Tahoma"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Tahoma"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">I suppose if there is a way to load it from the USB stick I'd have to change the root option, from "live" to something else.
