I have downloaded and burned Suse 9.2 Live CD (Gnome version). The problem is, it won't boot. MD5 checksum is correct. I get "searching for boot record on CDROM... not found" message and then system just boots from hard drive. Recently I used the very same CD-RW as bootable CD and it worked.
Is there a way to make the CD boot, maybe using a floppy with some bootlader (syslinux, grub?) as an intermediary?
This is almost certainly a media compatibility or hardware issue.
Maybe, but this kind of error could also show up if the iso-image file was burnt as an ordinary file instead as an iso-image.
Hmmm. I thought data CDs required an iso file system. I've always either used K3B or used mkisofs to prepare an iso image for cdrecord to use. Interesting. Is the burnt file usable? Say I was to burn a large log file to a disk, can I then mount the disk and read the file? Jeff Jeff
