Whatever I tried, booting the RHL 9A CD 1 from the Red Hat Magazin gives always this error message: isolinux: Disk error 01, AX = 4321,9F Any idea what this might mean? I also tried to boot bootdisk.img from floppy, there I get "boot failed" without additional information (but maybe the floppy is bad). Interestingly, Win2k wouldn't boot as well, while RHL 7.1 (the latest other I have available, I'm not at home now) installed just fine. So, is it that the BIOS won't boot a bootimage above 1440 kB? It's a rather old system, AMD K6/2 350 MHz on an AOpen AX59PRO board (with VIA chips, ugh), but the CD-ROM is newer (acer 24x/10x/40x CD-R/RW burner). Is there any documentation about such error messages and what they mean? I did a search, but found nothing useful.
