[Leaf-devel] Problems booting Dachstein CDROM
I think I found the problem (at least on ONE system). First there are a LOT of messages refering to the device at 02:00 (apparently /dev/fd0). Then there is a slew of messages refering to a device at 03:00 (apparently /dev/hda). In this system, with this boot, there is no disk in /dev/fd0 and there is an IDE hard drive at /dev/hda, and a CDROM at /dev/hdc. However, the CDROM fails in this environment. The syslinux.cfg on bootdisk.ima says: append= ... BOOT=/dev/fd0,msdos PKGPATH=/dev/hdc:iso9660 ... I also noticed that there is a root.lrp both on the CDROM and in the CDROM boot image - and both are different. I also managed to get the CDROM running on another system; however, it didn't tell me what the password was hmmm I tried the obvious (password, , secret) with no success. I suspect there's some documentation I should be reading - think I'll go read the readme or readme.1st file on the CDROM ;) ___ Leaf-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-devel

In this system, with this boot, there is no disk in /dev/fd0 and there is an IDE hard drive at /dev/hda, and a CDROM at /dev/hdc. However, the CDROM fails in this environment. This is what I would expect to happen...without a floppy (or other boot device with a pkgpath.cfg file to override the syslinux.cfg setting), the default CD-ROM image expects the CD to be on /dev/hda. If it's not, and there's no mountable boot device (ie no floppy in the drive), the normal LRP search for a boot device takes over. It will mount the first device it finds a recognizable file-system on, which is probably your hard-disk on /dev/hda, not the CD. The syslinux.cfg on bootdisk.ima says: append= ... BOOT=/dev/fd0,msdos PKGPATH=/dev/hdc:iso9660 ... This is confusing...did you modify the CD image before burning it? Which CD image are we talking about here... I also noticed that there is a root.lrp both on the CDROM and in the CDROM boot image - and both are different. This should definately not happen...again, please provide details on the image you're using. I also managed to get the CDROM running on another system; however, it didn't tell me what the password was hmmm I tried the obvious (password, , secret) with no success. I suspect there's some documentation I should be reading - think I'll go read the readme or readme.1st file on the CDROM ;) There shouldn't BE a password, unless you're using the really old LRP-CD based on Eigerstein, which was a snapshot of an internal version I made, with the password of changeme.

This should definately not happen...again, please provide details on the image you're using. It appears to have only the boot image and a set of packages on it.
