Hi,
I'm trying to create a customized FC3 Install CD because of driver problems
with an IBM HS20 BladeCenter. I've had no luck at all so I've taken a step
backward to try and locate my problem. To start with I'm attempting to
remake FC3-i386-disc1.iso.
This is what I've done:
[iso]# mount -o loop FC3-i386-disc1.iso /tmp/mnt
[iso]# cd /tmp/mnt
[mnt]# tar -cf /tmp/fc3.tar *
[mnt]# cd /tmp
[tmp]# mkdir image
[tmp]# cd image
[image]# tar -xf /tmp/fc3.tar
[image]# find ./ -name TRANS.TBL -exec rm -f {} \;
[image]# mkisofs -R -J -T -r -v -l \
> -b isolinux/isolinux.bin \
> -c isolinux/boot.cat \
> -c isolinux/boot.cat \
> -no-emul-boot \
> -boot-load-size 4 \
> -boot-info-table \
> -V "FC_3 i386" \
> -o /tmp/output-FC3-unchanged.iso \
> /tmp/image

Assuming UTF-8 encoded filenames on source filesystem,
use -input-charset to override.

Burning the original file(FC3-i386-disc1.iso) produces a CD that works
properly. When I burn the resulting iso file (output-FC3-unchanged.iso) I
get a disk that initially boots up but is unable to locate the CDROM drive.
Any ideas of what might be causing the problem?
Thanks
