Hello,
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. So I hope Tomasz did burn the iso-image correctly. He knows if he did it before. Tomasz?
Many CD-ROMs have problems booting off of burned disks and some older CD-ROMs just don't boot at all. Try burning the disk at a slower speed or on different (higher quality?) media. IIRC the floppy boot images are on the disk so you should be able to make boot floppies if you need to.
