Use: mkisofs -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 \ -boot-info-table -c isolinux/boot.cat -x lost+found -o rhtestcd.iso \ /var/RH9_BASE With the isolinux.bin, disk emulation is no longer necessary. This works just dandy for me, your mileage may vary ;-). Please do let us know if this alleviates your problem, I plan on writing up my experience with RH 9.0. regards, ragho > > 10. used cdrecord to make the cd > > and the installer tells me that it is not a RHL CD !! > > searched around the archives but could not get something to solve my > problems > (Maybe i did not look hard enough!!) > > Please help. > > Regards, > Anoop > > > _______________________________________________ > Anaconda-devel-list mailing list > Anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list >
