Firstly I burned the ISO onto a CD and noticed that it does not automatically finialize the CD. Tested the CD and it works. Put CD back into drive and burn multisession (Nero) to add stages to CD and then on boot crashes with infinite error messages: kmod: failed exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k binfmt-464c, errno=8 I dont know if this is because I burned the CD in windows or not but I also tried using WinISO to add the stages to the ISO before burning (XIso wouldnt work for me) This resulted in same error. I tried putting the stages in /stages and in the root of the CD but neither worked. :o) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Expected Results: Booted to command prompt
you cannot edit the iso using another system. the ISO uses zisofs options, which indicate a compressed ISO filesystem, Windows DOES NOT support this. So on boot, you get the BINFMT errors, because the ISO filesystem does not know it should be trying to uncompress the executables, etc stored on the cd, hence it cannot recognize the binary format (binfmt). Make sense?
also, just to make sure I'm clear, if you burn the ISO _without_ editing it, it will work, because a windows image writer (nero/easycdcreater) will write it raw, and not edit it... Appending to a cd (multisession) will rewrite the index, and pretty much override the bits that are necessary to tell it that it should be expecting zisofs data.
