Re: [revisor-users] 'Boot from local disk' doesn't work

Hi!
I created a spin of Fedora 8. Everything went fine. But I'm wondering
about the 'boot from local disk' option. It works on desktop computers
(HP dc5800) but not on servers (HP DL310 G5). After choosing the option
on the server the screen goes blank and nothing else happens.
Any idea how I could fix that?
This I presume is a syslinux limitation, where the command:
localboot 0xffff
practically let's the boot from CD-ROM fail. If you have explicitly
chosen to boot from CD-ROM (by pressing F12?), I think there is no boot
order... No boot order, no next boot device.
I guess that if you change the boot order in the BIOS to CD-ROM, Hard
Disk, then boot from the CD-ROM and choose Boot from Local Disk, it
should continue booting from Hard Disk.
Kind regards,
