https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=412084 Summary: There is an error in "opensuse110_reference.pdf", section 9.5 - Creating Boot CDs Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Documentation AssignedTo: ke@novell.com ReportedBy: bmynars@gmail.com QAContact: ke@novell.com Found By: Other Page: 146 Section: 5 - Create the ISO image with the following command: Currently it states: mkisofs -R -b iso/boot/grub/[...] Problem: Following instructions from this page, correctly creates an ISO bootable image, however, it is unusable. After booting, we are dropped to a 'grub' shell and you are done. Trying to execute 'boot' command generates an error. I assume that the author writing these instructions was using 'iso' directory as a place holder for the mini structure of the 'boot' tree. If this is the case, it would be much more clear if it said something along these lines: "5 Create the ISO image with the following command: (Note: if iso/boot/[...] directory was created, change to iso directory first) mkisofs -R -b boot/grub/stage2_eltorito -no-emul-boot \ -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -o grub.iso ." This image will correctly boot and recovery of one's system can continue. The problem with the other instructions was that they were not very clear and iso/boot structure was created on a CD image rendering it very difficult to work with unless one is a 'grub' wiz. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
