Hi List,
I can't use mkbootdisk to make a bootable floppy disk for my linux server. I wou
ld like to get some help from this list.
Here is the detail:
My linux server is running on a Compaq server box which has RAID hardware.
# ls /lib/modules
2.4.7-10 2.4.7-10smp fs
# mkbootdisk -v 2.4.7-10smp
<ok>
# mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
# ls /mnt/floppy
boot.msg initrd.img ldlinux.sys syslinux.cfg vmlinuz
When I boot from the floppy disk, It prompt as below:
--
Press <return> (or wait 10 seconds) to boot your Red Hat Linux system from
/dev/cciss/c0d0p3. You may override the default linux kernel parameters by typin
g
"linux <params>", followed by <return> if you like.
--
After press <return>, The prompt is like below:
----------
Boot failed, Pls. change disk and press <return> key
----------
Here is the content of file syslinux.cfg on the boot disk:
---------
default linux
prompt 1
display boot.msg
timeout 100
label linux
kernel vmlinuz
append initrd=initrd.img root=/dev/cciss/c0d0p3
---------
I think this server has two big differences with the ordinary PC: RAID disks and
Network adapter.
But I don't know why I failed to create a bootable disk. Can anyone here help me on
this ?
Thanks in advance.
Regards
John Li
