Thanks Rodrigo, I had missed that file, I guess it was elimentary after all.
I wonder how a person will be able to figure out what when wrong, anaconda
devs any comments on how to do debugging of such issues, i looked at the
file cdinstall.c and i see that it wants to read this file .discinfo but how
it is that one exactly know the error incase it does not find it?
Thanks

Did you verify if you have .discinfo in your CD ?

Hi All,
I am hitting this problem when i burn my custom CD, i know this is a
list for anaconda development but i have a few questions(near end of
mail) about anaconda working which i think will be best answered here.
Following is what i am doing
1> I am making a custom Fedora Core 4 CD1 with only
the packages that i want, i have removed the unwanted packages and
generated new hdlist using genhdlist from anaconda-runtime
2> When i try and use this custom install tree via
NFS based install all works and the install is successful
3> When i take the same install tree make and iso
out of it using
mkisofs -r -J -T -v -V "My Custom CD" -c
isolinux/boot.cat -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -o ../images.iso
-no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -1 .
and burning this iso onto the disk using nero
or Raxio etc, (i am burning the iso image and not the .iso file as
data).
4> I boot from above made CD, it asks me language,
keyboard type and installation methond, on selecting Local CDROM it
give me ":CD not Found" , The fedora Core CD was not found in any of
your CDROM drives.
5> I checked alt-3 which says trying to mount CD
device hda
6> alt-4 gives me
<7>ISO 9660 Extension: Microsoft Joliet Level
3
<4>Unable to load NLS charset utf8
<4>Unable to load NLS charset utf8
<7>ISO 9660 ExtensionsL RRIP_1991A
7> I have tried all the known workarounds to this
problem like ide=nodma , cdnodma , disabling smp etc but none have
worked.
Following things that i have already done
1> I have created checksum of the CD using implantmd5iso in
anaconda-runtime, however even after saying linux mediacheck it did
not
do media check.
2> Done all work arounds like ide=nodma, cdnodma etc , but
none worked
3> Used -r to set proper permissions on the iso.
4> Mounted the iso in the system and it works.
Following is the hardware that i am using
Dell PowerEdge SC 430, but i have tried the same on my sony
laptop VGN-S56GP and i get the same error.
Questions:
1> When and why does anaconda gives this error message
2> What does anaconda expects to see.
3> What can i do to debug this further.
Any help on what could be the possible reasons of trouble is
greatly appreciated.
Thanks
